SICK BAY - ASTHMA

🌿 Be Prepared This Pollen Season

A reminder for those at risk of thunderstorm asthma to stay alert and prepared.

We are seeing an increase in students presenting to sickbay with asthma and hay fever symptoms. 

With September–December being the peak thunderstorm and pollen season, it’s especially important to take precautions.

✅ Steps to stay prepared:

• Keep your reliever medication up to date and carry it with you.
• Check your asthma and/or allergy action plan and make sure you are familiar with it.
• Monitor the weather and the Victorian Epidemic Thunderstorm Asthma Risk Forecast and adjust your activities and plans accordingly.

By staying prepared, you can reduce your risk and stay safe this pollen season.
