MenB Vaccines Urged for Teens | Manchester News
Description
Health officials in Greater Manchester are urgently urging over 45,000 teens to get their life-saving MenB vaccine before university—two doses starting July 20th and August—with a push to protect against a deadly disease that’s already claimed lives and left survivors with devastating disabilities. After a deadly Kent outbreak and rising cases, experts are calling for a nationwide catch-up program, including a JCVI-recommended booster at age 15, to ensure no teen is left unprotected as they head into dorms and social scenes.
