Saving Local Koalas, One Vaccine at a Time
The Koala Chlamydia Vaccine Program has reached a critical milestone, with currently over 500 Koalas vaccinated against the terrible disease causing infertility and permanent blindness if left untreated.
This ground-breaking research program, now in its 5th and final year, offers real hope for reversing the devastating impacts of chlamydia on Gold Coast’s local Koala populations.
