Meningococcal B Strain Vaccination

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:21): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Will the minister confirm that the expert task group appointed by the minister to consider meningococcal B vaccines recommended children up to five years old should get access to the vaccine, not four years, as the government announced yesterday?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:21): My understanding is that the program that has been announced is completely consistent with the expert working group report, including the age ranges.
