Meningitis vaccine


If you are coming to university for the first time, the NHS recommends that you have a vaccination to prevent meningitis and septicaemia. Your GP may have discussed this with you already, but if not and you would like some advice, local GP practices will be present at Welcome Weekend. You can register as a new patient or ask them about the vaccine. NHS information about the vaccine. You can also find out more about meningitis at meningitisnow.org.
