Closed Introduce meningitis B vaccine into the routine childhood immunisation schedule

Closed on

The UK's first Meningitis B vaccine has just been licensed. It will save thousands of lives, especially among children under five, who are most at risk. Meningitis B is the most common form of the disease in the UK and one of the deadliest.
We urgently need the Government to intoduce the vaccine into the UK Routine Childhood Immunisation Schedule, so it will be given to all children and save as many lives as possible.
Please support our 'Meningitis B: Beat it Now' campaign to get the vaccine introduced quickly.
