THREE pharmacies on New Zealand's South Island are under investigation for allegedly giving unnecessary immunisations last week.
According to NZ Herald, Pharmacy Xtra in Christchurch, Unichem Wigram Pharmacy, and Unichem Redwoodtown Pharmacy have temporarily stopped providing vaccinations, following extensive concerns about the service provided.
The pharmacies are being scrutinised over the alleged incorrect input of immunisation data, with reports also suggesting that elderly patients who received influenza vaccinations at Unichem Wigram were also given shots for children.
