Petition I want the Meningitis B vaccination to be free for everyone in the UK

Recently whilst on holiday in Barcelona I fell ill with bacterial meningitis. As a child I was not offered the vaccination which could have potentionally prevented me from getting this horrific and life threatening disease. Instead of having a three day holiday I was in hospital for two weeks.

More details

I want this strain of meningitis to be prevented by the vaccination being available to everyone that may need it. I understand babies are now being given the vaccination. But all others that are not vaccinated are still at risk and deserve to be prevented for free!!!
