We are aware of the recent media coverage surrounding Men B and lots of patients have questions regarding this.

 

There is currently no Men B vaccination program available for adults on the NHS.

 

Children born before 1st May 2015 will not have received this vaccine as part of their childhood immunisations.

 

The Men B vaccine is routinely offered to all babies as part of the NHS childhood schedule at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 12 months old.

 

If your child is eligible for this vaccine, they will be routinely called as part of their childhood immunisation schedule.
