There has been an increase in mosquito population due to recent heavy rainfall and floods within the region. High numbers of mosquitoes will continue over the summer months. Due to the increase in populations, the vaccine will provide protection from JE, however it does not protect you from other mosquito borne diseases such as Ross River virus, Murray Valley virus and Barmah Forest virus. It is advised to use mosquito repellent during attendance at outdoor events to minimise the risk of any mosquito borne infections.
