Our Toowoomba members' clinic has been very busy all year with Korean backpackers seeking Q Fever Vaccine prior to working at the local meat works.
This initially presented a few problems with language barriers but we have had the Q Fever pre vaccination questionnaire translated into a Korean format (many thanks to Jon Barrell TMA member in Daylesford Vic) .
