Getting Results

Getting Results

I work with so many different types of animals both wild and domesticated, and attended the Q Fever Webinar out over curiosity. I learnt so many interesting facts about the Flu-like illness I became very involved in becoming vaccinated.

I received my Pre-Vaccination blood test and was in complete awe when I was called by my doctor after a few days for the results. My doctor explained that my results had tested positive for Q Fever. I had no idea that I was exposed to the illness or when. Because of my exposure I could not be vaccinated, I already had immunity (and can become seriously ill if I was to be vaccinated now)

I’m one of the lucky ones who can still get on with all my day to day activities and looking after wildlife. I have heard stories of other careers who aren’t so lucky.

Thank you to Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife for all that they do.
