Meningoccal Disease and Vaccinations

The College was very saddened to hear of the passing of a young local student whose family, friends and school community we keep in our thoughts and prayers.

The State Government has announced that Tasmanians aged from six weeks to 20 years will now be able to be vaccinated for free against Meningococcal W.

Students are the biggest cohort of eligible Tasmanians and I would urge all families to ensure their children are vaccinated.

Parents can find out official information and access responses to frequently asked questions online at www.health.tas.gov.au

Parents have been emailed a reminder about this and can also download the information poster from the TCEO here: Poster.
