UK students to receive meningitis B vaccine
The UK government has announced a one-off vaccination program to protect teenagers and young adults against meningitis B following recent outbreaks in Kent, Dorset, and Berkshire that resulted in three deaths. Starting in late July, eligible individuals born between September 2007 and August 2008, as well as those entering university or residential colleges, will receive two doses of the MenB vaccine, which covers most strains of the bacteria. This immediate response aims to reduce the risk of serious illness and future outbreaks among high-risk groups.
