00:00And following the death of an 18 year old, there are also calls to vaccinate teenagers and young adults who
00:06should should this eligibility be expanded at a quicker rate right now?
00:11OK, so at the at a young age, children, babies are given meningitis B vaccine.
00:19But they are up until at the moment now, there is no routine meningitis B, for example, for those who
00:25are a teenager.
00:27And what what we are looking at here at the moment is some vaccines are being provided in that Kent
00:34area.
00:34And the focus has been on making sure that that vaccine availability is there for that area.
00:40But some vaccines have been released for for people to access privately from pharmacies.
00:46Right now, we I can't say I'm assured that that is perhaps the right approach.
00:50I think we need to target those vaccines where they're most needed in that Kent area.
