You can decide to vaccinate your child privately, but the number of cases of MenB is in decline and immunising children over the age of five may not be effective. According to figures from Public Health England, 24% of cases of MenB between 2014/15 were in babies aged one and 33% were in children aged one to five, but only 12% of cases were in children aged five to 14.
