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.
