Who pays for the MenB jab?
The MenB jab is part of the NHS vaccination programme, meaning the cost is covered by the health service, not by the individual receiving the vaccine. This ensures accessibility for all eligible young people, as highlighted by the UKHSA's push for 18 and 19-year-olds to get vaccinated by 31 December.
