Flood victims missing out on JEV vax because of strict criteria, GP says
GP Dr Rod Pearce is unable to vaccinate eligible patients because of his practice location
GPs are unable to offer vaccination against Japanese encephalitis virus to patients displaced by the SA floods, because of strict state government criteria around which practices can get stocks.
Immunisation Coalition chair and GP Dr Rod Pearce said patients from the flooded Riverland region who fled their homes had started presenting to his practice in east Adelaide.
