A belief pharmacists being able to vaccinate children won't do much to vaccine rates.
Health NZ and Pharmac will offer funded training to pharmacists who want to become authorised vaccinators.
It'll allow them to administer vaccines to children from six-weeks-old at community pharmacies.
GenPro Chair Angus Chambers says people will miss out on vital information that comes with a jab.
"It may well be that we will just shift people who are getting immunised anyway from one area to another- and we won't reach the people who are needing to get immunised."
