A million young people in England are being urgently offered free meningitis B vaccines after a deadly outbreak in Kent—nearly 90,000 doses already given, with over 135,000 appointments booked. Targeting 17-18-year-olds and new university students, the campaign aims to protect those most at risk due to social mixing and shared living. Two doses, spaced 28 days apart, provide full protection against a strain that can cause brain damage, sepsis, or death. Eligible students—including international ones—can book via NHS or walk-in pharmacies. Experts now urge routine vaccination for all teens around age 15, making this push a vital step to stop further tragedies.
