A million young people in England, Wales and Scotland will be offered a vaccine to help protect against meningitis B.

The one-off programme has been launched after concerns over the UK's largest and fastest growing meningitis B outbreak to date in Kent this year and two further "unusual" clusters in Dorset and Berkshire.

UK health officials say the risk to 18 year olds or those entering university for the first time is higher than to many of their peers because of increased mixing of social groups and shared accommodation.
