Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Health this morning announced that with immediate effect, all vaccinations against any type of microbe which causes Meningitis Types A, B, C, W and Y will be included on the Government’s formulary.
With an investment of nearly €3m, every child born from February onwards, will be given this vaccination in three doses.
Thanks to this initiative and to the introduction to the formulary of the Pneumococcal vaccine earlier this year, parents will be saving approximately €700 per child.
