Health Minister touting prospect of more meningococcal vaccinations

From Morning Report, 8:23 am on 26 October 2022

The Health Minister is touting the prospect of more meningococcal vaccinations thanks to the government's extra funding for the medicines-buying agency, Pharmac. 

It could be included in the childhood immunisation schedule from next year, and for young people living in halls, dorms, and prisons. That's up for consultation at the moment. 

Health Minister Andrew Little spoke to Māni Dunlop.
