You may be eligible for a free MenB vaccination.

Meningococcal B (MenB) disease can be very serious, and those entering university for the first time are considered at higher risk due to close contact with large numbers of new people.

To find out if you are eligible visit the NHS England website using the following link:
https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/meningococcal-b-menb-vaccination-invitations/

💉 How to book your MenB vaccine

• If you're in the Year 13 age group, you'll receive an invitation to book through the National Booking Service (NBS).

• If you're starting higher education for the first time and are eligible under the university entrant programme, you can find a participating community pharmacy and book your vaccination via the NHS website.
