More results needed before company renews push to list meningococcal B vaccine on PBS
15 August 2018 - A potentially life-saving meningococcal B vaccine is unlikely to become free to people across Australia this year.
The Federal Government has been under pressure to list the vaccine on the National Immunisation Program, which distributes free vaccines, after five Tasmanians contracted the disease last month.
A 20-year-old man contracted the B strain of meningococcal while the other four cases were the W strain.
