KALBARRI
DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL — BOOSTER VACCINATIONS
651. Hon MATT BENSON-LIDHOLM to
the minister representing the Minister for Education:
I refer to recent
booster vaccinations for hepatitis B and tetanus undertaken at the Kalbarri
District High School for year 7 students on Thursday, 9 September.
(1) Were parents of all students in year 7
informed by correspondence of the vaccinations scheduled for 9 September; and,
if not, why not?
(2) If yes, were all parents required to
return signed permission slips to the school; and, if not, why not?
(3) Can the minister confirm that
vaccinations for year 7 students were carried out at Kalbarri District High
School earlier in the year and that signed permission slips were required to be
signed by parents on that occasion?
(4) Can the minister verify that a year 7
female student not enrolled in this school earlier in the year was given
booster shots on 9 September without parental permission?
