Parents, it's time to take action and ensure your teen's health! The state health department is urging you to check and complete online consent forms for school-based vaccinations during the ongoing adolescent immunisation campaign. This campaign, running from February to November, aims to protect your child and their peers from serious and preventable diseases. But here's the catch: it's not just about your teen's current health; it's also about safeguarding their future. By getting vaccinated at the recommended age, your teen is shielded from diseases like HPV-related cancers, whooping cough, and life-threatening meningococcal disease. And that's not all. The campaign offers additional vaccination opportunities through pharmacies, GPs, and community clinics, ensuring no one misses out. So, don't delay! Check your teen's immunisation status and complete those online consent forms. It's a simple step with a huge impact on their well-being and the health of the wider community. Remember, this is part of the state government's commitment to keeping Western Australians healthy in the short and long term. For more details, visit the official website and stay informed. Your teen's health is in your hands, and every action counts!
