All newborn babies will get the meningitis B vaccine from September.

Apparently it's "common in children under 5" and clearly enough of an issue for the government to want to vaccinate.
So surely that leave the rest of us with kids under 5 feeling a bit more vulnerable? 1200 cases a year... is that a significant number or not?
Also, forgive my ignorance, but is it even possible to vaccinate once a child has missed the 2, 4 and 12 month jab time slots?
