We are already planning our flu vaccination programme for 2026. Our Patient Participation Group have created a survey where we can obtain your feedback on our flu vaccination programme in 2025. We would like to hear from you as to whether you had your flu vaccination at the surgery and if not what could we do differently for you to hopefully book with us in 2026. We would also like feedback on the appointment timings and availability and we can then reflect on any changes we may need to think about for the clinics in 2026. Please help us by answering a few simple questions in the survey below.. Many thanks.

For more information regarding meningitis symptoms and how to protect yourself please see the following website.

https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2025/10/31/what-is-meningitis-symptoms-risks-and-how-to-protect-yourself/

Several vaccines offered free of charge by the NHS can help protect against certain causes of meningitis and septicaemia:

MenB vaccine: For babies given at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 1 year
6-in-1 vaccine: For babies given at 8, 12 and 16 weeks
Pneumococcal vaccine: Two doses for babies given at 16 weeks and 1 year; single dose for adults aged 65+
Hib/MenC vaccine: For babies given at 1 year (if born on or before 30 June 2024)
MMR vaccine: For babies given at 1 year, with a second dose at 18 months
MenACWY vaccine: For teenagers aged 13 to 14
The Men B vaccine does not protect against all MenB bacterium types. This is why we always raise awareness of signs and symptoms alongside the available vaccines.

The MenB vaccine was added to the NHS immunisation schedule for infants in 2015, providing protection for babies and young children in the UK. It is separate from the MenACWY.

If you are a teenager or young adult born before 1 May 2015, you will not have received the MenB vaccine as part of the NHS schedule. There is no NHS catch up programme for the MenB vaccine for this age range, only in the area of the outbreak.

The MenB vaccine can be accessed privately through high street pharmacies, private GP providers and travel clinics. For those aged over 2 years, the vaccination course consists of 2 doses.
