You may have heard about diphtheria outbreaks happening in some parts of Australia, especially in regional and remote areas of the Northern Territory, Western Australia and South Australia.

• NSW Health is funding a dTpa (Boostrix) dose for Aboriginal people going to an outbreak area who have not had a dose of diphtheria vaccine in the last 5 years.
• A Boostrix dose is also funded for all Aboriginal people in NSW who have not a dose of diphtheria vaccine in the last 10 years, irrespective of travel plans. We have these available in clinic!
• Boostrix for non-Indigenous travellers to affected areas is not funded by NSW Health but a private script can be arranged by your GP.

For queries, please book an appointment with your GP by calling admin on 4208 3088.
