Update on Swine Flu VaccinationsA message from Dr Christine Selvey, Chief Health Officer (Queensland Health)Dear Parent, Carer or Staff Member As you may be aware, a national program to vaccinate Australians to protect against Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza Virus, (Human Swine Flu) commenced on 30 September 2009.
Although the focus is on protecting those in the vulnerable groups, the vaccine is available to all those wanting to protect themselves in the community. Should you have any questions or concerns about your or your child’s eligibility for the vaccination, please contact your General Practitioner (GP). I urge you to visit your local GP to receive a free vaccination to help protect against this disease. The cost of the vaccine is free, although GP’s may charge a consultation fee. General Practice Queensland (GPQ) has advised that most GPs will bulk bill for consultations solely for the purpose of pandemic vaccination. If you require further information on how to obtain the vaccine, please contact your local GP or visit the Queensland Health vaccination website http://www.health.qld.gov.au/swineflu/html/vacc.asp |
