You’re being offered the free flu vaccine this winter to help

Heading off to college or university soon? Make sure your vaccines are up to date to help protect you from infectious diseases like meningitis and measles, which can be severe and even life threatening.

These diseases spread easily in university and college settings, but getting the meningitis (MenACWY) and measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccines is the best way to protect yourself. These vaccines are available for free from the NHS in Scotland.
It’s recommended that you have two doses of the MMR vaccine at least two weeks before the new semester starts.

*Read more on our website (link to press release on local board website) or to find out how you can get these vaccines, as well as any others you may be eligible for, please visit

As your college or university term begins, remember to check your vaccines are up-to-date. Read about keeping yourself protected from serious diseases.
