🦠 Meningitis B Vaccine – Important Information
The Meningitis B vaccine was introduced in 2015 and is part of the routine childhood vaccination programme for babies.
It is not currently available on the NHS for older children or adults, unless they are students at the University of Kent, where a recent outbreak has occurred.
If you are interested in vaccination, this can be arranged privately through a number of private providers or chemists.
