Meningitis B Outbreak

In light of the recent news, we have understandably had an increase in queries around the Menigitis B vaccination. Unfortuantely, at this time, we are unable to offer Meningtitis B vaccinations to patients, apart for young children who are eligible as part of the immunisation shedule.

The Meningitis B patient helpline, run by UKHSA, is now available. Patients can call 0344 225 3861, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, if they have no symptoms but

are concerned they have been in contact with a confirmed case or have a general enquiry.
