Meningitis B vaccinations

You may have read about the Meningtiis B vaccination changes coming in July and August so we wanted to clarify the eligibility.

The two-dose vaccine will be for pupils in Year 13, in England and Wales and those aged 18 to 25 heading to university or residential further education for the first time in the autumn.

Two doses are required for maximum protection, given at least 28 days apart.

In England these will be offered in July and August through community pharmacies and there will be no need to go to the same pharmacy for both jabs. The GP Practice will not be providing the vaccines.
