Takes over 130-rack, 550kW facility

Scientists aim to vaccinate about 50 koalas in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales as part of a field test to thwart the disease which causes blindness, infertility and death in the animals.

The safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, designed specifically for koalas, has previously been tested by vaccinating a few hundred koalas brought to wildlife rescue centers for other afflictions.
