Queensland’s new chief health officer aims to boost vaccinations and reduce health disparities ahead of a severe flu season.
Dr Marianne Gale, Queensland’s new chief health officer, has prioritized boosting vaccination rates and addressing health inequities as winter approaches.
She cited the state’s worst flu season in a decade—linked to low vaccine uptake—as a major concern, welcoming the government’s renewal of free flu shots and introduction of a needle-free nasal spray for children.
Gale, who previously served as NSW’s deputy chief health officer and worked with Doctors Without Borders, emphasized the need for trusted information and community engagement, particularly with First Nations populations.
She plans to travel across Queensland to collaborate with frontline workers and support efforts to close health gaps and combat rising chronic disease and cancer rates.
