Q Fever is on the rise. Despite rarely causing clinical disease in animals, Q Fever can be transmitted from infected animals to humans. Q Fever may be undiagnosed because it can have similar symptoms to the flu, such as muscle pains, headaches, nausea, fatigue, fever and chills. However, Q Fever can also have debilitating, long-term health consequences. As well as negatively impacting on the individuals’ health, Q Fever also puts businesses and the livestock industry at risk. Protect yourself, your family and your employees. Get vaccinated against Q Fever. #bqfeveraware
