Students in Kent have queued for hours for meningitis vaccines for a second day as a public health director said “sporadic” household clusters could appear in other parts of the UK.

More than 100 students were turned away as queues swelled at the University of Kent Canterbury campus, with some advised to attend other sites for vaccines or come back on Saturday.
