We know that there will be a lot of people worried about the news regarding the Meningitis outbreak in Kent. This particular meningitis strain is MenB. Since 2015, this vaccine has been offered to all children up to age 2. It is NOT available on the NHS after this age.
However, there are other strains of Meningitis and most young people will have received the MenACWY vaccine at school. It is also available to anyone that missed the MenACWY vaccination and is aged under 25 years old.
Please contact us if you are aged between 14 years and 25 years old AND have not received the MenACWY vaccination. If this applies to you, you can book an appointment with our nurse.
Many thanks
