    Several South Island pharmacies are being investigated for allegedly giving unnecessary immunisations

    Several South Island pharmacies are being investigated for allegedly giving unnecessary immunisations


    Pharmacy Xtra in Christchurch central, Unichem Wigram and Unichem Redwoodtown in Blenheim, have temporarily stopped vaccinations after concerns were raised about their services.

    Te Whatu Ora National Public Health Service regional director Vince Barry says there are also concerns about incorrect inputting of immunisation data.

    GenPro chairman Dr Angus Chambers says colleagues near the Wigram pharmacy have reported elderly patients getting their flu shot have also been given child vaccinations, including measles-mumps-rubella and meningitis shots.
