📊 81% of confirmed meningococcal disease cases in the UK are caused by MenB.

That's why a one-off MenB vaccination programme is being introduced ahead of the 2026/27 academic year.

“It’s hard to cope because your life is never the same again… Everyone should be able to be protected.” - Alison Goude, who lost her daughter to MenB.

A one-off MenB vaccine programme in the UK is an important step, but more still needs to be done.

@DHSCgovuk @UKHSA Well done. Good first step.
Keep going.

We're launching a one-off MenB vaccination programme ahead of the next academic year to protect young people from a life-threatening disease.

This will help reduce the risk of serious illness and larger outbreaks. Two doses are needed for full protection.

Having had 3 separate Meningitis B outbreaks in quick succession (Kent / Dorset / Reading) resulting in the tragic deaths of 3 young people, I’m pleased to hear that a million young people will now be offered a MenB vax ahead of the new academic year.

Today is real progress on MenB protection - there is more to do but thank you to everyone who has backed our more than decade-long campaign on this issue. For Juliette and every family whose lives have been devastated by MenB, today is for you.💜
