The coroner's concerns
1. unvaccinated children attending university
“There would appear to be on-going confusion about who is responsible for ensuring that those children who are not (for whatever reason), vaccinated at school, should be vaccinated before attending university”
2. optional enhanced service for MenW vaccination
“The provision of the vaccination against MenW appears to fall under an enhanced service for GPs”
3. lack of audit for unvaccinated children identification
“It does not appear that there is any form of audit to ensure that GP practices have in place systems to identify those children who are not captured by the school programme and to put in place measures to protect children, particularly before commencing university”
