Following recent outbreaks of meningitis in the UK, the Scottish Government has announced plans to offer a new programme of Meningococcal B (MenB) vaccination for young people this summer.

This time-limited programme will be offered to some older teenagers and some new college and university students who are at higher risk of exposure to meningococcal group B bacteria.

Public Health Scotland is working closely with Scottish Government, NHS boards and wider partners across Scotland to develop plans for the roll-out of the MenB vaccine, which will help to protect those who are at higher risk of infection from this life-threatening disease.

Further information on the roll-out of the programme will be shared as soon as it becomes available. For more information on this latest announcement read our official web statement at https://publichealthscotland.scot/news/2026/june/menb-vaccine-to-be-offered-to-eligible-young-people-this-summer/
