Immunization Information for Parents of Grade 8 Girls

On March 6, 2012, nurses from Toronto Public Health (TPH) will be in our school to provide the second dose of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine to grade 8 female students.  Students who missed a previous dose may also catch up on this by attending this clinic.

Your child will need a signed consent form to be vacinated (if not already returned).  Visit the Toronto Public Health website at http://www.toronto.ca/heatlh/immunization_children/index.htm or call the immunization information line at 416-392-1250 for more information or to obtain vaccine fact sheets or consent forms.  Our school office also has vaccine consent forms and fact sheets for our students.
