MVEC has published a new immunisation reference page on the rare phenomenon of discoloured leg syndrome (DLS). DLS is a transient condition that can occur after an individual receives an injected vaccine. 

The new reference page includes information on DLS diagnosis, association and incidence, treatment, and implications for future vaccine doses.
