Victoria Funds Free Meningococcal B Vaccines, But Access Still Limited
Description
Victoria introduces free meningococcal B vaccines for teenagers, following other states lead. Despite this, funding is only for one year and doesnt include infants, who are also at high risk. Parents of victims advocate for broader access, especially for the youngest. A national rollout proposal was rejected due to cost concerns, leaving New South Wales and Western Australia without the vaccine. The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners urges New South Wales to align with other states and provide access to all children.
