Explained in plain English

Who pays for the jab?

The MenB vaccine is provided free of charge by the NHS for eligible groups, including new university students up to the age of 25. This means the cost is covered by general taxation, ensuring everyone who needs it can access this important protection without financial barrier. Local pharmacies are often key to delivering these free vaccines.
