13.01.2022 Supporting pharmacies to deliver meningococcal vaccines Public Health Services is working with the Pharmacy Guild of Tasmania and Pharmaceutical Society so that... authorised immunisers can help deliver meningococcal ACWY vaccines to eligible Tasmanians. To enable this, existing authorised pharmacist immunisers will be given additional training so they can provide vaccinations to Tasmanians aged from 10 to under 21. Pharmacists have been able to provide flu vaccines to the adult public using pre-filled syringes for more than two years. Meningococcal vaccines require an extra step to prepare the vaccine for injection. The additional training of authorised pharmacist immunisers will cover the features of meningococcal ACWY vaccines, advice on vaccinating older children and teenagers, the process for preparing and giving the vaccine, and participation in the Australian Immunisation Register. Once training has been delivered, participating pharmacist immunisers will have their authorisation extended to provide vaccines to eligible Tasmanians under the Tasmanian Government’s expanded free meningococcal immunisation program. This will give about 60,000 Tasmanians another option for receiving their meningococcal vaccine over the coming months. We’d like to thank the Pharmaceutical Society, Pharmacy Guild and pharmacies across Tasmania for their considerable cooperation and assistance in getting meningococcal vaccines to the public as part of our Public Health response. Posters and brochures are also being produced and widely distributed this week to GP clinics, pharmacies, childcare centres, schools, councils and Service Tasmania branches in order to raise public awareness. An extra 6500 doses of the vaccine landed in Tasmania last week. The Government has ordered a further 90,000 doses to ensure adequate supply statewide, with delivery expected to begin this week. It remains important for the public to be aware of the symptoms of meningococcal disease, such as fever, severe headache, severe muscle pain, and quickly becoming unusually unwell. Late in the illness, there can be a rash. Infants can be lethargic, floppy and feed poorly. Anyone who is concerned they may be showing symptoms of meningococcal disease should seek emergency medical care. Further information is available online at www.health.tas.gov.au or via the Public Health Hotline on 1800 671 738.

06.01.2022 An urgent public health response has begun following four recent cases of meningococcal W disease in the Greater Hobart area, including three in Hobart’s northe...rn suburbs. Population Health Services are establishing a program to vaccinate all Tasmanians aged between six weeks and 20 years (born after 1 August, 1997). The program will first focus on providing access to free vaccine in the area where three of the recent meningococcal disease cases lived, and it will be expanded across the state in the coming weeks. The program will involve eligible Tasmanians receiving a meningococcal vaccine from either a general practitioner, a pharmacist (for children aged 10 years and over), special public clinics, and some schools. The vaccine will cover the meningococcal strains A, C, W and Y. To date there have been five cases of meningococcal disease in Tasmania in 2018. Four of these were of the W strain, including a teenage girl who died with the disease earlier this month. Meningococcal disease is a rare but life-threatening disease. Tasmania typically has about six cases a year. This means the chance of any single person catching the disease in any given month is about one in a million.
