Australia has issued a winter
weather alert to parents of children
with asthma.

Recommendations from the
Council include seeing the GP to
ensure an asthma action plan is in
place, ensure children are taking
their preventer every day, vaccinate
against influenza, wash hands
regularly and keep puffers handy.
