Meningococcal group B (MenB) disease is a serious bacterial infection that can lead to meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and septicaemia (blood poisoning). These conditions can develop quickly and become life-threatening if not treated promptly.

Our private MenB vaccination service offers a safe and convenient way to help protect against meningococcal group B disease. The vaccine is suitable for many individuals who are not eligible for the NHS vaccination programme, including students, travellers and anyone wishing to reduce their risk of infection.

The MenB vaccine may be suitable for:

University students
People who are not eligible for the NHS MenB vaccination programme
Individuals who wish to reduce their risk of meningococcal group B disease
People travelling where protection against meningococcal disease is recommended

Our pharmacist will assess your suitability before vaccination and answer any questions you may have.
