Teenagers from 15 should be given free MenB vaccine, say UK experts

UK experts recommend offering free MenB vaccine to all teenagers around age 15, following the UK's largest and fastest-growing outbreak in Kent. A one-off vaccination campaign is already underway this summer for first-time university students. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is asking the government to consider routine jabs for secondary school-aged children. Two doses are needed for full protection.
