Meningitis Outbreak – Information for Patients
Your vaccination history should be available on the NHS App.
Please check the app to confirm you are up to date with your vaccines.
If your child is under 10 and you are concerned they may not have received all of their routine vaccinations, please submit an admin request asking us to check their records.
We will review this and contact you to arrange an appointment if any vaccinations are needed.
If you are secondary school aged and missed your MenACWY vaccine (usually given around age 13), you should arrange to catch up.
