Meningococcal B Strain Vaccination

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:21): Supplementary: just to clarify, the minister is saying the expert task group did not recommend vaccines for children up to 5 years old?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:22): I have just taken the opportunity to open up a copy of the expert working group report, which was posted on the SA Health website yesterday, and my reading of the executive summary on page 5 is that they refer to five separate elements; the second element was a meningococcal B catch-up program, childhood, which referred to a cohort of greater than one year of age to less than four years of age.
