Do you live or routinely work in the Grampians Local Government Areas of Horsham, Hindmarsh, Northern Grampians, West Wimmera or Yarriambiack?
 
People aged 2 months or older who live or routinely work in high-risk areas may be eligible for a free Japanese encephalitis vaccination this mosquito season.
Japanese encephalitis is a rare but potentially serious infection of the brain caused by a virus that can be spread to humans through mosquito bites.
