An increased risk of epidemic thunderstorm asthma conditions has been identified across Victoria today

If your child has asthma or hay fever, we recommend going inside, closing doors and windows and avoiding wind gusts where possible before and during today’s thunderstorm. Reliever medication should also be carried at all times.

As we head into the warmer months, it’s important to remember that spring is the peak season for pollen and grasses to trigger asthma and hay fever, and having an updated asthma management plan is extremely important.
