Meningitis (MenACWY) Vaccine Update
We’ve had a lot of questions recently about meningitis vaccinations, so here’s what you need to know:
🔹 There are currently no changes to the national vaccination schedule advised by Public Health.
🔹 Our practice can only provide Meningitis (MenACWY) vaccine to patients who meet the national eligibility criteria:
◼️Given at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 1 year of age.
◼️Any missed doses can be given up to 2 years old
◼️Offered in school to children in Year 9 (aged 13–14).
◼️If this was missed, we can provide the vaccine up to age 25.
If you meet the national eligibility criteria, then please contact the practice after 10:30am and we will book you an appointment.
We are unable to offer the Meningitis B vaccine on the NHS, however this is available privately through community pharmacies.
