Parents warn of MenB outbreak risks without broader vaccine use

What happened: Parents of a girl who died from Meningitis B have expressed concerns about potential outbreaks among young adults if the vaccine is not more widely rolled out.

Why it matters:

  • Meningitis B can cause severe illness and death, especially in young people.
  • Expanding vaccination could prevent future cases and protect public health.

MNN Take: The family's call highlights ongoing debates about vaccine coverage for Meningitis B, emphasising the importance of immunisation programmes in controlling infectious diseases.
