The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is offered to female students in grade 8. This voluntary immunization program started in 2007 in Ontario. This vaccine is publicly funded only for grade 8 girls at this time.
In the fall, a consent form and fact sheet for the HPV vaccine will be sent home with students. The consent form must be signed by the parent/guardian indicating that they are aware the vaccine is going to be offered to the student. The student must also sign the consent form indicating whether or not they consent to the vaccine(s) and must return the consent form to the school prior to clinic day.
Please encourage your daughter to eat a healthy breakfast the morning of the clinic and wear a short sleeved shirt.
