Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the Meningitis B (MenB) vaccine to anyone over the age of 2 years. This follows current national guidance, which confirms that the MenB vaccine is only offered routinely to infants as part of the NHS immunisation schedule and is not available on the NHS for older children or adults.
Accessing the MenB Vaccine Privately
If you wish to obtain MenB vaccination for those aged over 2 years, this can be arranged privately through local pharmacies and private healthcare providers. Please be aware that many pharmacies are currently experiencing supply pressures, due to a significant increase in public demand following recent MenB outbreaks.
We recommend checking pharmacy websites or contacting providers directly for the latest availability.
If You Have Concerns
If you are worried about symptoms of meningitis or someone becomes unwell, please seek urgent medical advice. Early assessment is essential.
