I’m pretty sure it is subsidised in South Australia. My daughter has had her under 2 year old vaccinated against meningococcal

Yes, this totally should be subsided by the government.

absolutely should be a priority, health care and education should always be a high priority

I would have thought children under 5 would have been a great way to start along with 17-19 year old’s. It appears the young seem to get it as often if not more often but certainly with terrible side effects than the older children do.

It’s not an expensive vaccination, but it should be added to the list of vaccines given to babies

Children under 5 can probably pick up the disease as easily as an older child including those who go to childcare, preschool or go out in public a lot, as do their parents – shopping, working, being out and about.

A agree. If you’re going to get immunised against meningococcal you need to have all the strains covered

Yep, that would be good.

I agree. This is another immunisation that should be subsidised by the government.

Absolutely. It should be subsided by the Government. Too risky and scary at the moment!!

It should have been made available for free as soon as it became available. Its gone past being a priority. Its possibly responsible for the actual death of five people.
