Labor will also introduce a new meningococcal B vaccine program for all infants and teenagers.
“Community pharmacies want to do even more for their patients, and this commitment to expanding community pharmacists’ scope of practice, including supporting the training and making these conditions permanent practice, will mean more access to care for more Tasmanians,” said Joe O’Malley, Tasmanian Branch President.
“These policies represent a strong commitment to community pharmacy and the patients we serve,” he concluded.
