Gonorrhoea is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the UK .

More than 85,000 cases in England last year - the highest level ever recorded.

The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommended a targeted roll-out of the MenB vaccine.

The body said it would be cost-effective if given to those most at risk of catching it.

Doxy-PEP is taken in advance of sex to prevent some bacterial infections being caught.

Neither Doxy PEP nor MenB vaccine are currently offered for free on the NHS in sexual health clinics.

Both Boots and Superdrug offer private vaccination on the High Street for 110 per dose.

Phil thinks it's important that MenB is available to anyone who needs it.
