Vaccinations at schools

All eligible Northland children (aged nine months to 5 years, and between 13 and 20) who have not yet been vaccinated against meningococcal disease will be able to do so this week and next at five Far North schools.

The clinics will be at Taipa Area School today, Kaitaia College tomorrow, Bay of Islands College on Friday, Okaihau College on Monday next week (February 18), and Northland College on Tuesday.

Every signed consent form received, resulting in vaccination, before the campaign ends will go into the draw for one of five $200 phone data vouchers.

The consent form is available on the DHB’s website (www.northlanddhb.org.nz) and Facebook page.
