Explained in plain English

Who pays for vaccines?

In the UK, the NHS generally funds and delivers routine vaccinations, including those for serious diseases like MenB. This ensures that essential public health measures are accessible to everyone who needs them, regardless of their ability to pay. The free MenB vaccine for students is part of this broader public health strategy.
