The NHS Meningitis B Vaccine service
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England have announced a new community pharmacy vaccination service to provide a one-off (this year only) free Meningitis B (MenB) Vaccination Service.
Bookings for NHS vaccines is now open. If your date of birth is between 1st September 2007 and 31st August 2008:
Otherwise call us on 01503 262243 to find out about availability of vaccines and appointments.
The NHS is restricting vaccine supplies to pharmacies to prevent waste and hence there is limited availability at present for walk in appointments.
We will offer lots of availability throughout the summer and autumn. There is no need to be concerned about getting an appointment as we will provide enough appointments to meet the local demand.
Who will be eligible?
- All Year 13 students (born between 1st September 2007 and 31st August 2008);
- Under-25s entering university or residential further education for the first time; and
- International students under 25 years old entering their first year of university.
Vaccine Schedule
Please note that you will require two doses for full protection
The first dose and the second dose should be administered at least 28 days apart and ideally before term starts in September 2026.
