A petition in support of offering the meningitis B vaccine to all children under the age of 11 has been rejected by the government. Its founder - Lee Booth - says the decision 'beggars belief'. Public support for extending the vaccine grew after the mother of two-year-old Faye Burdett shared pictures of her dying from the infection. The government says offering the jab to all children is "not cost effective" and would be a waste of NHS money. Lee Booth spoke to Shaun Ley on 麻豆社 Radio 4's World At One programme.
