Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government when their commitment to introduce the vaccination for Meningitis B is expected to be delivered; and what has been the progress of negotiations with the manufacturer.
The Department of Health is continuing negotiations with the manufacturer to seek to agree a cost-effective price for the supply of the meningococcal B (MenB) vaccine, Bexsero®, as recommended by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation. These negotiations will be completed as quickly as practicable.
