Q Fever
Q Fever is caused by a bacterium, Coxiella burnetii, that can be spread to humans from cattle, sheep and goats. Workers in the meat and livestock industries are most at risk of Q Fever.
The Australian Q Fever Register holds information on the Q Fever immune status of individuals, accessible to registered organisations (primarily meat processors and medical practitioners). The Register holds details of Q Fever vaccination providers in a number of Australian states, but NSW is not a participant in the Register.
To find contact details for Q Fever vaccination providers in NSW, contact your local Public Health Unit, or the customer service line of the manufacturer/distributor, CSL Ltd, on 1800 008 275.
