To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the number children that have received the meningococcal conjugate vaccine injection in each of the last three years.
Steve Brine
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
There are two meningococcal conjugate vaccines that are used in the United Kingdom. The meningococcal ACWY vaccine (Men ACWY) is given to adolescents and the meningitis C and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine is given between 12 to 13 months of age.
The number of children receiving the Hib/Meningitis C vaccine by age two for the last three fiscal years (2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18) is 1,828,100.
The MenACWY data are not available in the format requested.
