NSW School Vaccination Program

NSW Health works in partnership with schools to offer the vaccines recommended for adolescents in a school-based vaccination program. These are essential vaccines that allow optimum individual health as well as public health.

These vaccines are given at school through parental permission; however, if your child is absent on the day, parents are advised that free catch-up vaccination is available at their local GP during the school year only.

For more information, visit: http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/immunisation/Pages/schoolvaccination.aspx

To check your immunisation records or request a vaccine, book an appointment with Waitara Family Medical reception at 02 8038 1070.

Healthy Diet 

Did you know?
More than 90% of Australians don’t eat enough fruit or vegetables.

Healthy diet is important for your general well being and allows prevention of health issues such as diabetes or hypertension. It is necessary to ensure uptake of all necessary nutritional elements in the healthy food pyramid.

Visit the GP to discuss a healthy diet and lifestyle plan.

For more information or an appointment, contact Waitara Family Medical reception at 02 8038 1070.

The program has changed for Cervical Screening

Are you up to date with your test? 

It’s important to have a pap smear test every five years even if you have had the cervical cancer vaccine.

Regular cervical tests help detect and prevent cervical cancer.

Book with the GP to discuss.

If you love the outdoors, love your skin more. Australia is recognized as an outdoor loving country, but it’s also known for the harsh sun and high cases of Melanoma. 1,500 people in Australia died from melanoma in 2012, which is four people a day, very sobering statistics. The deaths for 2015 were 1,675, which are from 12,960 melanoma cases diagnosed.

Therefore, wear appropriate sunscreen and clothing.

Make sure you see your GP and have your skin checked regularly.
