NSW School Vaccination Program
NSW School Vaccination Program
NSW Health works in partnership with schools to offer the vaccines recommended for adolescents in a school-based vaccination program. These are essential vaccines that allow optimum individual health as well as public health.
These vaccines are given at school through parental permission; however, if your child is absent on the day, parents are advised that free catch-up vaccination is available at their local GP during the school year only.
For more information, visit: http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Pages/schoolvaccination.aspx
To check your immunisation records or request a vaccine, book an appointment with Waitara Family Medical reception at 02 8038 1070.

Check your skin today!
Check your skin today!
If you love the outdoors, love your skin more.
Australia is recognized as an outdoor loving country, but it’s also known for the harsh sun and high cases of Melanoma.
1,500 people in Australia died from melanoma in 2012, which is four people a day, very sobering statistics.
The deaths for 2015 were 1,675, which are from 12,960 melanoma cases diagnosed.
Therefore, wear appropriate sunscreen and clothing.
Make sure you see the GP and have your skin checked regularly.
