Reduce the age of the meningitis Acwy vaccine to 3months

Closed 1,105 signatures

What the petition asks

In November 2017 we lost our 10 month old daughter to meningitis W which is something no one gets a vaccine against until they are roughly 14. The only way to get this vaccine is to pay privately, which can cost about £200.
If this vaccine had been available maybe my little Lily would still be with all her family today. I don’t know what else to do other than try and look at getting the age reduced to try and prevent this happening to any other people. All please sign and share. There is probably plenty of other petitions going around for this but the more there is we stand more of a chance
Thank you
