A new, time-limited MenB vaccine offer is available this summer for Year 13 students and under 25s who will be starting university as undergraduates or moving into residential further education settings for the first time in autumn 2026. 

The programme has been introduced in response to recent meningitis outbreaks while a full review of the evidence by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is underway.  

Eligible students will need 2 doses of the MenB vaccine for protection, with the first being offered from late July and the second dose from August. 

More details of the roll out of the vaccine will be announced soon and we'll keep you posted with any information that we receive. Meanwhile, you can read more here.
