What the petition asks
Roll the vaccination out immediately to protect children and adults who are not protected against the current outbreak in the UK.
An outbreak of Meningitis B has occurred in southeast England, with 20 confirmed or suspected cases so far, which has so far taken the lives of two young people in the university town of Canterbury in southwest England. To avoid a breakout and potential lockdown situation a vaccination plan is required with the young and vulnerable receiving the vaccination first.
