Q fever is a disease of worldwide importance which has special significance for Australia where outbreaks continue to occur. We will measure the burden of Q fever in the Australian population for the first time, measure how long immunity lasts following vaccination, collect extra information on adverse events in young adults and survey knowledge and attitudes of Q fever disease and vaccine. The results will inform policies for the control of Q fever in Australia and internationally.
