Swap the Rotavirus vaccine for Meningitis B vaccine in the UK immunisation schedule

Additional Information

Rotavirus only causes 3-4 deaths per year in the UK yet Meningitis B causes many more. A vaccine against Meningitis B has been licensed for use since January yet the government has declined to introduce it. Instead they have introduced a Rotavirus vaccine which while saving the NHS money in hospital admissions etc isn't actually going to save as many UK lives as a Meningitis B vaccine.
