South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD) are seeking vaccination providers to complete a survey identifying enablers and barriers to vaccination within Independent Living Unit (ILU) villages affiliated with Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs). The survey will take up to 15 minutes, and any vaccination provider working in the SESLHD area, including General Practitioners, Authorised Nurse Immunisers, Nurse Practitioners, and Pharmacists, can take part.
For further information, please read the Participant Information Sheet, or contact Courtney McGregor at 02 9382 8333 or courtney.mcgregor1@health.nsw.gov.au
A person has recently been confirmed to have acquired measles in Sydney. This person has had no known contact with anyone else with measles and did not attend any known exposure locations in Sydney.
With the source of the infection unknown, it is likely measles is currently circulating within the community, and other people may have been unknowingly exposed to measles.
There are current measles exposure locations in NSW, reported on the NSW Health website. NSW Health is advising people to be alert for signs and symptoms of measles across Sydney.
Measles vaccination is free for all individuals born during or after 1966 who have not had two doses, or who have an uncertain measles vaccination history, funded by NSW Health. Providers can use the measles vaccination tool to assess a patient’s requirements for measles-containing vaccine.

As we head into the warmer months, Australian health authorities are encouraging eligible people to take advantage of state- and territory-funded Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccination programs.
JE, a rare but potentially fatal disease, has been detected across multiple regions across Australia since 2022, prompting targeted immunisation efforts.
Free vaccines are offered in New South Wales to eligible people who are at high risk of JE virus infection.
As it takes up to four weeks to develop immunity, timely vaccination is encouraged.
