The South Australian government is developing an immunisation campaign against the deadly meningococcal B-strain after a spike in cases.
Health officials said there have been eight confirmed cases so far this year, compared to just one at the same time last year.
Health Minister Stephen Wade said senior clinicians and immunisation experts had come together to develop a targeted response to have maximum impact on the disease.
"There is significant community concern at the need to protect from meningococcal disease and we will act to lift protection in the most effective way," said Mr Wade.
But Opposition Leader Peter Malinauskas said the discussion was unnecessary and the indecision was denying people access to the potentially life-saving vaccines.
He said the previous Labor government had promised to offer free vaccinations to all children aged two and under from June this year at a cost of $24.5 million.
"Today's announcement of a committee to discuss Labor's policy is just kicking the can down the road," Mr Malinauskas said.
