Fund free Meningitis B & ACWY vaccines on the NHS for all

Closed 748 signatures

What the petition asks

I do not think that private medical companies should be able to charge hundreds of pounds for Meningitis B & ACWY vaccines. I think they should be provided free for everyone of any age on the NHS.
I believe that no family/friends should ever have to go through the pain of children and adults dying prematurely and completely unnecessarily simply because of lack of means to immunise due to high costs or due to failures of past governments to immunise the adult population. I am concerned that immunisation remains a luxury of the rich. This must end.
