New Teenage Meniingitis vaccine (ACWY) update

* PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON THIS BLOG FOR UPDATES REGARDING CLINIC DATES*

A single dose of Meningitis ACWY will be replacing Meningitis C in 13 - 25 year olds.

From August 2015 (as supplies become available) we will be offering Meningitis ACWY to all FIRST TIME (freshers) university entrants under the age of 25 and to all year 13 students from the 2014 - 2015 academic year.

Please note :- If you are under 25 and have received the Meningitis ACWY vaccine in the past 10 years, there is no need to re-vaccinate.

From September 2015 the 13 - 15 year olds (generally year 10 locally), will receive Meningitis ACWY at school as part of the routine vaccination programme.

Those students starting years 11, 12 and 13 in the 2015 - 2016 academic year will be called as part of the catch -up campaign.
