Victorian Spleen ServiceThe role of the VSS is to prevent overwhelming sepsis in people after splenectomy or a diagnosis of hyposplenism. This is done through education, immunisation and preventive antibiotics. The VSS has registered more than 3000 people ranging from 3 weeks to 89 years of age. With the availability of new vaccines against pneumococcus and meningococcus, immunization regimes recommended for these individuals have had to be revised.
