A new adult vaccination program has been announced for Western Australians born in or after 1966 who have not already received two doses of a measles-containing vaccine.

Community consultation is open on development of the Western Australian Women’s Health and Wellbeing Policy.

The Department of Health is advising people not to eat fish, crabs or shellfish collected from within the Swan River, extending from Pelican Point and Matilda Bay, upstream to the Garrett Road Bridge.

Consultation is now open: Western Australian parents and other interested community members are invited to participate in a consultation about proposed legislation to strengthen immunisation requirements when enrolling children into child care services and kindergarten programs, under a No Jab No Play policy.

Parents of year 7, 8 and 10 students are reminded to sign and return immunisation consent forms to ensure their children don’t miss out on important, free vaccinations.
