Grade 7 Vaccinations: Note from Public Health re vaccination for grade 7 students on Monday, Oct 17th. Students in Grade 7 are offered three important vaccines that help to protect them from:

  • Meningococcal disease (causes meningitis) *required for school attendance
  • Hepatitis B (causes liver damage and liver cancer)
  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV; causes precancerous lesions, oral, genital and anal cancers; and genital warts)

I strongly recommend that you have your child vaccinated against these diseases. These vaccines are safe and effective and greatly reduce the risk of potentially life-threatening diseases when a completed series has been received.

I ask that you:

| Dari | Hindi | Nepali | Spanish | Tagalog | Tigrinya | Vietnamese)

  • Complete the online consent form for your child as soon as possible

www.wdgpublichealth.ca/gr7consent

If your child has already received one or more of the vaccines listed above, please complete the consent form and indicate the dates of the vaccinations on the form. A public health nurse will only immunize your child if the vaccine is still needed.

Public Health wants school vaccinations to be a positive experience for students. If you have questions regarding this program or require assistance completing the consent form, please contact Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health at 1-800-265-7293 ext. 7006 to speak with a public health nurse.
