The disease is not transmitted from person to person and cannot be caught by eating pork or pig products. Federal, state and territory authorities are meeting regularly to “work through the next steps of this situation”. Australia’s acting chief medical officer, Sonya Bennett, said two vaccinations were available for protection against JEV in Australia.
