Many routine vaccinations protect against meningitis including MenB, DTaP/IPV/Hib/HepB, PCV, MMRV and Men ACWY vaccines
More information about Meningitis vaccinations can be found here https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/meningitis/vaccination/ and patients are encouraged to ensure they are up to date with vaccinations.

The Kent outbreak is linked to MenB meningococcal disease. The Men B vaccine is offered at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 1 year of age. Babies can be offered missed vaccinations up to 2 years of age. Practices are not able offer Men B vaccination routinely or on request to those over 2 years of age.

We have added some additional appointments for patients who have not yet received their Men ACWY vaccine who may now wish to have it.
