Below is some helpful information regarding meningitis.

MenB vaccination is only available up to the age of 2, but you can access it privately through some high street pharmacies, private GP providers and travel clinics. If you were born after 1 May 2015 it will have been included in your routine immunisations. If you were born before 1 May 2015, there is no NHS catch up programme for the MenB vaccine.

Men ACWY is usually given in school but if teenagers have missed it they can have it with us before the age of 25.

The UK Health Security Agency has written a great blog explaining more here:

The van is back! Please stop parking in our pick up/drop off zone. This is private property and you are once again blocking access for our patients.

Can whoever owns this van move it please, it’s been parked in the surgery pick up/drop off point since at least first thing this morning which is restricting the availability for our disabled patients to be dropped off. This is NOT a parking space. Thank you
Has now been moved - thank you
