Q FEVER

109 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (27 July 2010).

1. How many people have been diagnosed with Q Fever and what is the total number of vaccinations given in each year since 2006?

2. What action has the government taken to encourage all farmers and abattoir workers to be vaccinated against Q Fever?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts): I am advised:

1. Since 2006, the Australian Government has been responsible for the management of the Q Fever program.

All statistics in relation to disease and vaccine coverage are held with the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing.

Unlike other funded vaccines on the National Immunisation Program, States and Territories are not involved in the purchasing, distribution, promotion or collection of any data relating to the Q Fever program.

2. SA Health does not hold any information in relation to the promotional aspect of the National Q Fever Vaccination Program. This information is held with the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing.
