    DescriptionThousands of young people have started receiving their meningitis B (MenB) vaccination through a one-off programme sparked by several outbreaks of the disease earlier this year. Emily Warner spoke to Professor Mark Fielder, a microbiologist at Kingston University, about why it is ‘critical’ to get vaccinated as soon as possible, how getting both doses is like training an athlete, and how vilifying or belittling vaccine hesitant people will not change their minds.
