Kent’s #meningitis outbreak was years in the making – here’s why
The #students caught up in it belong to a generation that has never been routinely #vaccinated against the strain responsible.
That is not because a #vaccine doesn’t exist. It does. Bexsero, which protects against #meningococcal group B #disease has been available since 2013
The #UK even became the first country in the world to add it to its national #immunisation schedule, in September 2015.
