The ACT Government is extending free Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccination to 31 July 2026 for people living in the ACT travelling to high-risk areas in Australia 🦟
JE is a rare but serious disease spread by mosquito bites. It hasn’t been detected in the ACT, but the risk remains in other parts of Australia ⚠️

People eligible for free JE vaccination ✅
• aged 2 months or older, and
• are travelling to a JE high-risk area for outdoor activities like camping, fishing, boating, hiking, hunting or caravanning

You’re also eligible for a free vaccine if you ✅
• work with pigs or at piggeries or abattoirs
• transport or care for pigs
• work with mosquitoes or mosquito-borne disease monitoring
• work in laboratories handling the virus
• do prolonged outdoor work in high-risk areas (for example, flood clean-up)
If you think you’re eligible:
1. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist 👩‍⚕️
2. Tell them you need the government-funded JE vaccine (they may need to order it) 💉

Call ahead to check availability. An administration fee may apply.
You do not need a Medicare card to access the government-funded vaccine.

ACT residents remain eligible for vaccination if your travel to JE high risk areas is planned for after 31 July 2026.

Awards recognise excellence. Patients recognise the impact.
Vanessa has earned both. 🩵

We're incredibly proud to share that our colleague Vanessa has been named a finalist for ACT Community Pharmacist of the Year.

We were thrilled to hear the news of her nomination. At Cooleman Court Pharmacy, we see every day what this recognition is really about — a pharmacist who consistently puts people first.

Vanessa goes above and beyond to support her patients — whether that's helping someone navigate their medicines, providing complementary medicine advice, or simply taking the time to listen when it's needed most.

Behind the scenes, Vanessa also plays a vital role in caring for hundreds of patients through our dose administration aid program, working closely with local healthcare providers.

What makes her truly special isn't just her clinical knowledge — it's the genuine care, kindness and dedication she brings to every interaction. She has touched the lives of countless patients and families across our community, and we're proud to see that impact recognised.

Congratulations, Vanessa, on this well-deserved achievement. We are so grateful to have you as part of the Cooleman Court Pharmacy team. 💊
