Thank you for signing my petition in memory of Alfie. With your support, we're now at over 45,000 signatures. 

 

The tragic events in Kent this week have brought meningitis back into the spotlight, and exposed the cruel gap in vaccine policy, based on age.

 

I have told the media that the government needs to find some money to roll out this vaccine, and I have also said that saving my son’s life wasn’t seen as cost effective. Those words come from the most painful truth a parent can live with: protection existed, but it was out of reach for too many families.

 

I am now aiming for 100,000 signatures. This will make the campaign impossible to ignore, and we'll ensure every single voice of support is heard by the government.

 

With meningitis in the news, the moment to grow support for wider MenB vaccine rollout is now - and I need your help.

 

Can you share the petition and help us reach even more people?

 

It only takes a few seconds, and you can choose the way that works best for you:
