Department of Health written question – answered at on 28 March 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what his Department's estimate is of the cost of the vaccine for Meningococcal B per child who receives it; and what the annual cost of the provision of that vaccine to infants has been in each of the last five years.
The Meningococcal B (MenB) infant vaccination programme was introduced in September 2015. The precise cost of the vaccine is commercially sensitive and therefore confidential.
The annual estimated costs of delivering the MenB programme are:
Year | Estimated costs of delivering the MenB programme |
2015/16 | £27 million |
2016/17 | £46 million |
2017/18 | £46 million |
Note:
These are estimates of full programme costs (including the cost of the vaccine) for England only, inclusive of VAT.
