13.01.2022 The COVID-19 vaccine will first be made available to South Australians in phases from mid-February. Access to vaccines during the first phase of the roll out wi...ll be made available to those who are most vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19 or who have the highest risk of being exposed to, or spreading, the virus. This will include: residents and staff of aged and disability care facilities medi-hotel and airport staff health care workers working in high risk exposure and transmission areas, such as COVID testing clinics and emergency departments. The program will take several months to roll out, with vaccination for the general population to be available from mid-2021. Two doses of the vaccine are needed for each person to be adequately immunised against COVID-19. SA Health is working closely with the Commonwealth Department of Health to develop an implementation plan for South Australia in line with the Vaccine Roadmap announced by the Federal Government.

10.01.2022 LISTERIA DETECTED IN LEG HAM South Australians, particularly pregnant women, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems, are advised not to consume affe...cted O’Brien’s leg ham following the detection of Listeria. The Department for Health and Wellbeing’s Acting Director, Food and Controlled Drugs Branch, Karen Ferres, said no cases of Listeria have been reported to SA Health linked to the product. Following detection of Listeria by the manufacturer during routine testing, O’Brien’s is working to remove any potentially affected product from supply today, Ms Ferres said. The affected hams have been available for sale at various Foodland, IGA and other independent butchers and continental delicatessens. The ham is sometimes sold loose from affected businesses and therefore has no distinct packaging. While many people exposed to Listeria often have only mild illness it can be more serious in at-risk groups, so all South Australians at-risk should avoid eating the product. As a precaution, we recommend anyone who has purchased any of the listed O’Brien’s leg hams to not eat it and either return it to the place of purchase, or discard it. The hams have been available for sale since December 2020. The use by dates affected are 24/03/21, 1/04/21 and 06/04/21: O'Brien's Full Boneless Leg Ham O'Brien's Champagne Leg Ham O'Brien's Half Leg Ham O'Brien's Full Leg Ham O'Brien's Half Boneless Leg Ham O'Brien's Third Leg Ham Listeriosis starts with flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, muscle aches, nausea, and sometimes diarrhoea. People can start experiencing symptoms within a few days, but they can take up to six weeks to appear after eating contaminated product. If symptoms develop, people are advised to see their GP. Those in the at-risk groups should consult their GP as early as possible if any symptoms appear.
09.01.2022 JUST IN: SA Health has warned of a potentially deadly virus resulting from mosquito bites in the Riverland area. More: http://7news.link/2K8FRc8 SA Health: "Sou...th Australians are warned to avoid exposure to mosquitoes, following the detection of the potentially deadly Murray Valley Encephalitis Virus and Kunjin virus during routine monitoring. The Department for Health and Wellbeing’s Acting Executive Director of Health Protection and Licensing Services, Dr Fay Jenkins, said a sentinel chicken, one of five chickens in a surveillance flock based near Meningie, has tested positive to both Murray Valley Encephalitis Virus (MVEv) and Kunjin virus. We know there has been an increase in the number of mosquitoes present along the Murray River this season, however, the detection of MVEv and Kunjin virus is an even stronger reminder for all South Australians to be vigilant in their fight against mosquito bites across the State, Dr Jenkins said. Many people infected with MVEv are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms such as fever, headache and nausea. Although only a few people who become infected with MVEv will develop more serious symptoms which may include confusion, headaches, neck stiffness, tremors, drowsiness and seizures, for those who do, it can be very serious and is fatal in about 20 per cent of cases. For those who survive, about 40 per cent of people will suffer permanent neurological damage. There is no vaccine and no cure for mosquito borne diseases transmitted in South Australia, and the only way of preventing disease is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. To protect against mosquito borne diseases, we are encouraging people to ‘fight the bite’ and take precautions such as wearing long, loose-fitting, light coloured clothing and use a repellent which contains DEET or picaridin. People should also reduce the risk of being bitten by mosquitos by proofing their homes and by removing any potential breeding sites on their properties. As part of SA Health and local council’s mosquito borne disease monitoring program, six flocks of sentinel chickens are maintained in strategic locations along the Murray River in South Australia and are routinely tested for viruses spread by mosquitoes. All other flocks of sentinel chickens based along the Murray have tested negative for these viruses this season to date, however, several chickens in the Ramco flock near Waikerie tested positive to MVEv and KUNv in March 2020. This was the first time that sentinel chickens in South Australia had tested positive to these viruses since 2011." Report in 7NEWS at 4pm and 6pm. #7NEWS
