The current outbreak of Pertussis (Whooping Cough) which commenced in Queensland in 2008 continues to spread. We have had several positive cases at the surgery over the last few weeks. It is important that all new born babies should be vaccinated against this illness. The Government is currently supplying free Pertussis vaccination to parents of new-borns. These vaccinations are available from our surgery.

I have added a brief information page on this debilitating illness, which can be viewed following this link.
