📢Update following the outbreak of meningococcal disease (MenB) in Kent.

Children born after 1 May 2015 who are fully vaccinated will have received the MenB vaccine as part of the NHS schedule.

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) makes decisions on vaccination programmes following careful consideration of independent expert advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The JCVI does not currently recommend a routine MenB booster vaccination for adolescents and young adults. The JCVI routinely reviews new evidence as it emerges and UKHSA will be advising that the JCVI considers this most recent outbreak to confirm their latest advice.

In line with the above information, the Practice will not be offering any vaccinations outside of the recommended schedule.
