The June 2024 edition of Prescriber Update contained an article about adverse events following Bexsero immunisation. The doses of vaccine administered were incorrectly described and the article has been updated on the Medsafe website.

There were 364,796 doses of Bexsero administered between 1 March 2023 and 31 March 2024. In line with the National Immunisation Schedule, the majority of these (327,037 doses) were administered to children aged under 5 years.
