Q Fever vaccinations

TAFCO together with Standish Street Surgery and Dorevitch Pathology will be offering FREE Q Fever blood testing followed by a vaccination clinic subject to demand. (March - April)
Please register your interest with TAFCO by phoning the store on 57521800 or email Kerry@tafco.com.au

Q Fever is on the rise. Despite rarely causing clinical disease in animals, Q Fever can be transmitted from infected animals to humans.

Q Fever may be undiagnosed because it can have similar symptoms to the flu, such as muscle pains, headaches, nausea, fatigue, fever and chills. However, Q Fever can also have debilitating, long-term health consequences.

As well as negatively impacting on the individuals’ health, Q Fever also puts businesses and the livestock industry at risk.

Protect yourself, your family and employees.
Get vaccinated against Q Fever.
