Thousands of meningitis vaccines not used in Northland

From Morning Report, 6:37 am on 20 June 2019

At least 8,000 doses of a meningococcal vaccine are left over from an emergency vaccination campaign in Northland.

The National Party is accusing the government of betraying Northlanders over the issue and says the government had the chance to vaccinate thousands of extra children but failed to take it.
