🎓 Heading to university this autumn? Don't forget your MenB vaccination.

Starting university is an exciting time, but living, studying and socialising with lots of new people can increase the risk of meningococcal disease.

The MenB vaccine helps protect against meningococcal B disease, which can lead to meningitis and sepsis.

💉 Eligible young people can now receive their FREE NHS MenB vaccination at our pharmacy.

You may be eligible if you:
✅ Are in the eligible Year 13 age group
✅ Are starting university this autumn and are eligible under the NHS programme
✅ Are entering eligible further education with residential accommodation

Not sure if you're eligible? Our pharmacy team will be happy to check.

📅 Book your appointment today or speak to a member of our team.
