Meningococcal Vaccines for 13-25 year olds (inclusive):
Just a reminder as the year draws to a close, that our teenagers and young adults may be going into close-living environments next year (boarding schools, tertiary hostels, defence barracks, youth justice residences, prisons) and are more at risk of Meningococcal disease in these situations.
As long as it is within three months of them entering such accommodation, they are eligible for funded Bexsero (MenB) – 2 doses, 8 weeks apart, and one Menquadfi (MenACWY). This includes children who turn 13 years of age while living in boarding school hostels.
