A group of UQ students are working with existing health services to cover the cost of flu vaccines for the homeless.
The student-led initiative amply named the 'Vac-Seen' has seen an overwhelming response with plans to extend its service through 2022 and beyond, establishing an immunisation outreach program for areas not currently serviced.
Project leader Jeremy Hunt says “The group have partnered with Inclusive Health Clinic in South Brisbane to facilitate the vaccination of over 300 at-risk people who otherwise would not be protected from the flu.”
Those wishing to support the VacSeen projects can do so via their website or volunteer to help as a health professional.
