Free Meningococcal ACWY Vaccination Program
The Queensland government is currently providing meningococcal ACWY vaccine free of charge to anyone aged 15 to 19 years. Adolescents and young adults have higher rates of meningococcal carriage and vaccinating this high risk age group will help reduce the spread of meningococcal bacteria to the wider community. These vaccines are available free of charge from Community Immunisation Clinics. No appointment is necessary.
For more information on the vaccine and the program visit Queensland Health - Meningococcal ACWY.
Parents of students who have missed school vaccinations will receive a letter advising options and vaccination due dates. Timely catch-up is recommended to ensure your child can continue to participate in the School Immunisation Program. The vaccine is free at Council's immunisation clinics or your family doctor. Your doctor may charge a consultation fee.
If your child has had a catch-up vaccination at the doctor, you must immediately advise Council in writing to avoid your child being given a duplicate dose at the next school immunisation clinic. This can be completed by emailing immunisation@moretonbay.qld.gov.au and supplying the following information:
- Student's full name
- Date of birth
- School
- Grade/year level
- Vaccine administered by the doctor
- Batch number
- Date given
- Doctor's details
- Parent name and contact number

The Australian Immunisation Register
The Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) is a national register that records vaccines given to people of all ages in Australia. It does not record vaccines given before 1 January 1996, and only records information that vaccination providers put on it.
If you think a vaccine is missing from your immunisation history statement, ask your provider to update the AIR.
Child immunisation records
You can get a copy of your child's statement if they are under 14 years. For privacy reasons, anyone aged 14 or older must get their own statement.
You can get a statement held on AIR:
If your child has been immunised overseas, you can have the details transcribed to the AIR by visiting your doctor and asking them to upload the details.
Adult immunisation records
Adult immunisations have not previously been recorded on national or state registers. To find past immunisation records, you can ask the GP or immunisation provider who provided the vaccinations to check their medical records.
Council immunisation records
Council holds records of vaccinations administered in Council's immunisation clinics and can provide you with an immunisation history. Due to privacy laws, you will be required to confirm your identity when contacting Council for your immunisation records. To request immunisation records contact Council.
