Teenagers should get meningitis B jab on the NHS from age 15, health experts say

All teenagers should be offered a vaccine on the NHS to protect against meningitis B at around the age of 15, government advisers have recommended.

The advice by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), which needs approval from the government, means youngsters should get a jab around the age of 15, with catch-up programmes for those who would otherwise miss out.
