APOTEX late yesterday announced the acquisition of the online vaccine portal operated by Peter Nelson's Reform Management (PD breaking news).
Apotex sales director Ben Sullivan said the move to acquire www.reformmanagement.com.au was an investment in new opportunities to help offset impacts, such as price reform "that place ongoing pressure on dispensary margins, while creating and retaining value for pharmacy".
The acquisition will see Apotex offer pharmacies over 50 competitively priced vaccines via the single website, which Sullivan said was the "next step forward for Apotex as pharmacy's best business partner".
Peter Nelson confirmed it was business as usual for the rest of the Reform pharmacy operations which include wholesaling and product supply to over 1,950 pharmacies.
