The vaccine is recommended from 28 weeks of pregnancy and is available for free if you hold, or are eligible for, a Medicare card.

Vaccination during pregnancy is the safest way to help protect newborn babies against RSV and serious complications, reducing the risk of severe RSV disease in infants under 6 months of age by about 70%.

🖤 Melanoma of the week: Not all melanomas have colour. Some appear pink, skin‑toned, or barely noticeable at all — which is why relying only on dark or dramatic spots can be misleading.

This melanoma was only found during a routine skin check last week. I did an urgent excision biopsy,
It turned out to be an invasive melanoma Breslow thickness 2 mm

Why it matters
Early detection saves lives. Even subtle or “innocent‑looking” spots can be serious. Regular skin checks — both self‑checks and professional exams — make a real difference.

Wagga Wagga City Council is urging residents to plan ahead to stay cool, particularly as many Council facilities and local community centres will be closed on the Australia Day public holiday, Monday 26 January.

If you don’t have air conditioning at home, cool spaces can help you escape the heat. These include air-conditioned community facilities, local pools and shopping centres.
