Louder for the people in the back 🙌

It’s never been easier to prevent skin cancer – yet melanoma is still the most common cancer for young Australians aged 15 to 29.

Exposure to harmful UVA and UVB rays accumulates over time. There’s no safe age or amount of exposure.

The sooner you make sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, shade and sleeves part of your routine – the better.

From 3 February 2025, the maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine will be available for eligible pregnant women under the National Immunisation Program 🤰

The RSV vaccine is recommended between 28 to 36 weeks of pregnancy to protect newborn babies from RSV. 🗓️

RSV is a serious disease for newborn babies and infants. It infects the nose, throat, and lungs. It is a leading cause of childhood hospitalisation.

To receive the vaccine for free, you must hold or be eligible for a Medicare card.
