“'Vaccination is the only way of preventing certain types of meningitis, and many students will have had the MenACWY vaccination at school. However, it is important for teenagers and young adults to be aware that they are unlikely to have been vaccinated against one of the most common causes of meningitis in this age group, which is MenB.'”
What Dr Tom Nutt has said
“We have consistently called for the vaccination of this age group, who remain at increased risk of MenB disease. Today's recommendation is an important step towards ensuring that far more young people are protected from this devastating disease.”
