Meningococcal scare has Hobart chemists swamped by requests for vaccine
26 July 2018 - Hobart pharmacies are reporting long waiting lists for meningococcal disease vaccines as hundreds of people try to get their hands on the jab.
Two new cases of meningococcal disease were confirmed in Hobart yesterday, bringing the number to five in less than two weeks, one of them fatal.
Kingston resident Heather Williams said she had experience trouble finding the B-strain vaccine for herself and four children.
