Immunisation Requirements in Primary School
Please see attached flyer regarding changes to primary and secondary school entry & immunisation. As part of our immunisation register requirements, we will be contacting any families who have not provided the school with a copy of the AIR Immunisation History Statement. A copy of vaccination details from your child's My Personal Health Record (the Blue Book) is not accepted.
Parents should provide the school with:
- an AIR Immunisation History Statement for a child that is up to date, not up to date or can’t be immunised for medical reasons or has natural immunity, or
- an AIR immunisation History Form for a child on an approved catch-up schedule.
Children can still be enrolled if an immunisation certificate is not provided or if they are listed on the immunisation certificate as not fully immunised. However, these children will be considered unimmunised and may be excluded from school if there is an outbreak of a vaccine preventable disease at the school or if they come into contact with a person with a vaccine preventable disease, even if there is no outbreak at the school.
