Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent steps she has taken to increase uptake of the MenB vaccination.

The Department works with the UK Health Security Agency and NHS England to increase uptake in all routine immunisation programmes. NHS England has issued communications to general practitioner practices to maximise efforts to increase coverage of MenB vaccination during early childhood. The NHS Immunisations Strategy is also exploring options to improve uptake and coverage of all National Health Service routine immunisation programmes, including MenB.
