⭐️Funded Meningococcal Vaccines⭐️

Meningococcal disease is caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis. At least 12 groups have been identified, including groups A, B, C, X, Y and W. The pattern of disease caused by each group varies by time and country or geographical areas. In New Zealand over 2014–2017, meningococcal group B caused around two-thirds of meningococcal disease each year, group C almost one-third and groups Y or W the remaining few cases. In 2022, group B was the prominent type causing 80% of group-identified cases, and group Y and group W made up the other cases. Meningococcal group A rarely causes disease in NZ.

For best protection against all meningococcal disease in New Zealand, separate vaccinations against group B disease and groups A, C, W and Y disease are recommended.

⭐️MENQUADFI (ACYW): one dose

⭐️⭐️BEXSERO (Group B disease): 2 doses 8 weeks apart

These are funded for the below group.

Adolescents and young adults aged 13–25 years inclusively who are entering within the next 3 months, or in their first year of living in a boarding school hostel, tertiary education halls of residence, military barrack, or prison

Please read below if your child had meningitis vaccines as a baby (introduced during previous outbreak)
The recommended dose schedule for Bexsero does not change for individuals with a history of immunisation with MeNZB vaccines. Bexsero utilises four antigen components to induce broad protection against meningococcal group B disease and is significantly different to MeNZB that utilised only one of these antigen components.

Please contact reception for a nurse appointment.

Manage My Health update
Manage My Health (MMH), a health portal, has advised it had a cybersecurity incident in late December.

The Gore Medical Centre no longer uses Manage My Health, however, the breach accessed specific documents stored in the My Health Documents area of the platform for patients who have used MMH at any time.

The issue has been fully contained and fixed following an independent forensic review by international cybersecurity experts, and the system is safe to use.

If your information has been affected, Manage My Health will contact you directly.
