NSW Labor reveals vaccination plan

A state Labor government would increase the range of vaccinations available through pharmacies, opposition leader Luke Foley says.

A Labor state government would increase the range of vaccinations available through pharmacies, bringing NSW into line with South Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory, the opposition says.

The party's plan would see two vaccinations for diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, measles, mumps and rubella become available in pharmacies from September 2019.

"This is about increasing the general health and welfare in the wider community and reaching out to those who normally do not get vaccinations," opposition leader Luke Foley said in a media release.
