School Vaccinations

​

School vaccinations are happening next week

Some advice from the School Nurse

Year 7: Tuesday 21 March

Year 10: Wednesday 22 March

It is ok to feel a bit scared or anxious. Please talk to the school nurse if you are.

What you can do to make it better:

• Make sure you eat breakfast on the morning of the vaccination.

• Bring an extra snack and drink with you on the day of vaccination to avoid getting faint or dehydrated.

• Stay well hydrated for the rest of the day by drinking enough water
• Wear loose and comfortable clothing on the day of vaccination, for example, your sports uniform.
• If you have questions, please talk to the vaccination team on the day or the school nurse before the vaccination day.
• Do not “pamper" your arm if it is a bit sore. Use it as normal otherwise it will get worse.
• 

  Have some pain medication if it is really painful or you have a headache the next day.
