Meningitis Vaccine Policy Queried

Rushen MHK Juan Watterson has asked the Cabinet Office in what circumstances vaccination against meningitis would be offered.

The questions follows a recent meningitis outbreak in Kent.

In a written Tynwald question, Mr Watterson pressed the Minister for the Cabinet Office David Ashford MHK to set out who would be eligible for vaccination and under what criteria it would be deployed.

The question is due for answer by April 3.
