Meningitis C vaccine 'wears off in early teens'

Quote:

Three-quarters of children vaccinated against meningitis C lose their protection against the disease by their early teens, research suggests.
The Oxford team which did the work says its findings fuel calls for a booster jab to be offered to adolescents.

A little worrying..Let's hope that future cost cutting doesn't affect the suggestion of booster jabs for teens.It's bad enough that some work hard at avoiding the vaccinations they already require during their teens.

I had a booster when I joined the RAF (mainly due to them having a few cases weeks before I joined)
