From 20 July, the NHS is offering a new MenB (Meningococcal B) vaccination programme for eligible young people to help protect against meningitis and septicaemia (blood poisoning).
This service is being delivered by your community pharmacy.
Eligible patients are encouraged to book as soon as possible, as two doses are required, with the second dose given at least 4 weeks after the first, to ensure full protection before the autumn term where applicable.
If you are unsure whether you are eligible, please visit the NHS information page above or speak with you local pharmacy.
If you are eligible, you can find full details about the programme, check your eligibility, and book your vaccination online using the NHS booking service:
