A million young people will be offered the meningitis B vaccine - with the first dose next month and the second in August.
The jab will be available for Year 13 pupils as well as students under 25 who'll be starting university in the autumn.
It follows several outbreaks of meningitis including one in Kent earlier this year which left two teenagers dead.LINE**
