🚨 Meningitis B Vaccine – Important Information 💉
The Meningitis B (MenB) vaccine was added to the routine childhood immunisation schedule from 1st September 2015.

Children born before this date will not have received the MenB vaccine as part of their routine vaccinations.
At present, there have been no changes to the national immunisation schedule, and there are no plans for a catch-up programme.

For children born After 2015 please check their online record to check that they are up to date with their vaccines.
