Meningococcal B vaccine should be free, says paediatrician Dr. Owen Sinclair (Te Rarawa). If they didn’t have funding, people could still get immunised for free, but it would take some calling around.
Since March, a vaccine called Bexsero has been funded for those most at risk of contracting the deadly disease. Cases of the illness are on the rise.
