Health officials have warned that some young people are at risk of potentially deadly meningitis and blood poisoning after a fall in vaccine coverage among teenagers.
Uptake of the jab that protects against the bacteria which lead to meningitis fell significantly last year, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said.
The number of youngsters given a shot against polio, diphtheria and tetanus, also known as the 3-in-1 jab, also fell, it added.
