About 5,000 students in university halls in Kent are to be offered the meningitis B vaccine, with the aim to prevent further disease in several weeks' time if somebody has been harbouring the infection.
Health officials have confirmed vaccinations will start on Wednesday.
Five schools in the county have confirmed or suspected cases and hundreds of people are being offered antibiotics as an immediate treatment.
Across the country, worried parents and students have been trying to get the jab privately, but pharmacists told the BBC they have either run out of stock or are down to their last supplies.
