MenB vaccinations on campus

Earlier this year, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) announced a MenB vaccination programme, which launched in summer 2026. The programme is open to all year 13 students and anyone under the age of 25 who is starting university this year.

The MenB vaccination protects against disease caused by meningococcal group B (MenB) bacteria. These bacteria can lead to severe and life-threatening conditions, specifically meningitis and septicaemia.

Returning students are unfortunately not eligible for the DHSC programme but can still get the vaccination for a fee of £95.

The clinic will return in the autumn to supply the necessary second dose. Two doses are essential for full protection! Details will be shared soon.
