🦠 Heading away soon up North to escape the Bunbury winter?
Recent health reports have highlighted Australia’s current diphtheria outbreak, along with rising measles cases. Health experts are encouraging Australians to check whether their vaccinations are up to date, particularly before travelling to higher-risk areas.
Some regions in Australia, including parts of WA, are currently considered higher risk for diphtheria, and booster vaccinations may be recommended for some travellers.
You can check your immunisation history through myGov or the Australian Immunisation Register, and speak with your friendly pharmacist if you’re unsure about your vaccination status.
At Eaton Community Pharmacy, our super friendly pharmacists can provide advice on travel health and available vaccination services.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Vaccines may not be suitable for everyone. Speak to your healthcare professional about your individual circumstances.
