Japanese encephalitis: Free vaccine eligibility now includes part of NNSW

The free Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) vaccine is now available to those who live and work in Kyogle, Lismore and Richmond Valley LGAs.

​In NSW this year, five people have acquired JEV and, sadly, two of these people have died. JEV is spread by mosquitoes and can infect animals and humans.
