The UK launches a one-off emergency programme offering the meningitis B (MenB) vaccine to large numbers of young people after recent outbreaks. Multiple reports say eligibility focuses on Year 13 pupils and people under 25 who are starting university this autumn, reflecting higher risk linked to close living and social settings such as halls and student communities. Sky News and other outlets report the programme will reach about one million young people. GOV.UK describes the offer as a two-dose MenB vaccination course, though the detailed roll-out timing and delivery arrangements are reported as part of the broader government and NHS planning. BBC reporting referenced the vaccine being offered in July, while other coverage frames the delivery around this autumn for the school leaver and university intake groups. The programme is intended to reduce transmission and protect individuals as they enter new environments where the disease can spread more easily. Some local and specialist aspects, including pharmacy involvement and Jersey-specific information, are also mentioned in headline round-ups, but all accounts center on the national focus for Year 13 and under-25 university entrants.
