About this education

The Australian Department of Health and Aged Care has declared JEV a Communicable Disease Incident of National Significance. Since 1 January 2021 there have been 45 human cases of JEV notified*. Sadly, 7 people have died as a result of JEV (2 in NSW, 2 in SA, 1 in VIC, 1 in QLD, 1 in NT).


This webinar provides timely and relevant education on Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) vaccination for:

  • travellers going overseas to countries with known cases
  • domestic travellers visiting regions where conditions favour JEV outbreaks

This was an excellent outline of dyslipidaemia management by both presenters. The best on the subject that I have been to in the last 2 years. Clear, concise and useful.
