This guide is for young people in school years 7 to 13, and their parents and guardians. It outlines and explains: the immunisations that are given to young people usually when they are still at school, why these immunisations are needed, and what side effects they might have. The guide also answers some of the most common questions about these immunisations. In particular, it describes the HPV vaccine that protects against HPV related cancers, the Td/IPV vaccine that boosts the protection you got as a child and the MenACWY vaccine.
