MenB Vaccination Programme for Students

The UKHSA has announced a one off MenB vaccination programme to protect Year 13 pupils and those under 25 who are starting university or residential further education in the autumn. 

The programme will consist of two doses of vaccine, with the first offered from July and the second in August. Vaccinations will be delivered via a nationally commissioned pharmacy service and not by your GP.

The programme will offer MenB vaccination to those at highest immediate risk ahead of the autumn academic term, specifically: 
• Individuals completing Year 13 in summer 2026 (born 1 September 2007 to 31 August 2008), and 
• Individuals under 25 years of age starting university or moving into residential further education for the first time in autumn 2026. 

Please wait for the NHS to contact you directly by NHS app, text or letter.
