A LEAFLET promoting the Australian Vaccination-Sceptics Network (AVN) has been pulled from Queensland Health’s pregnancy packs after a Gold Coast mum raised concerns about the document.
Pregnant mother-of-one Lucy Fisher was handed the leaflet by midwives as part of an information package while at the Gold Coast University Hospital on Tuesday and said she was shocked when she saw the AVN listed as the only information source for vaccinations.
“I was surprised that something on a Queensland and Gold Coast Health letterhead would promote something so against what they are trying to do,” she said.
“For first-time mums it could be really confusing and it is the question of how long that form has been in circulation.”
Mrs Fisher posted the image on Twitter – and Queensland Health has since responded saying the form has been pulled and the matter is being investigated.
