We have had several calls asking us about Meningitis B vaccines both on the NHS and privately for those that don’t meet the current NHS criteria.

All Meningitis B vaccine supply nationally has been obtained by the NHS Public Health System to help to contain the spread of the outbreak in Kent.

We would be grateful if you would please not contact us about this matter as we cannot obtain Meningitis B vaccine and have no time frame for when we will be able to do so.
