Q-Vax Skin Test
What it is used for
Q-VAX is indicated for the immunisation of susceptible adults at identifiable risk of infection with Q fever. Abattoir workers (and those closely associated with the meat industry), farmers, veterinarians, stockyard workers, shearers, animal transporters and many others exposed to cattle, sheep or goats or their products should be considered for vaccination. Note: Q fever has also occurred among persons culling and processing kangaroos and laboratory personnel handling potentially infected veterinary specimens, or visiting abattoirs, are at risk.
