School-Based Immunizations for Grade 7 Students

School Immunization nurses will be visiting elementary schools between October and December to provide the first dose of three free vaccines for Grade 7 students:

  • Hepatitis B
  • Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
  • Meningococcal (Men-C-ACYW)

The nurses will return between April-June to provide the second dose of two of the vaccines

  • Hepatitis B
  • Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)

Your child’s school will share specific clinic dates and times directly. You can also view the complete schedule of school clinics by clicking the link below:

* Check back in the September for your child's school clinic schedule

What if My Child Misses the Clinic?

If your child will be absent on the scheduled clinic day or is not attending school in person, these vaccines can be received by appointment at one of health unit clinics.

To help manage clinic flow, we kindly ask that families use the school-based clinic as the first option whenever possible before booking an appointment at the health unit.

Making a child’s vaccination experience better and decreasing the amount of pain they may feel is very important. If a child has a bad experience getting a vaccine they may not trust their healthcare provider and may not want to get other vaccines or health care when needed in the future.

There are many things that can decrease pain and lessen stress and anxiety for children and their parents. Using a numbing cream, giving children a chance to ask questions, and informing them about what to expect, letting them choose ways they can be most comfortable when getting a vaccine can help make children’s vaccination experience uneventful and even positive.
