Why Get the Meningitis ACWY Vaccination?
Meningitis is a dangerous infection that affects the brain and spinal cord. It spreads through close contact, like coughing or sharing utensils, and can become life-threatening very quickly.
The Meningitis ACWY vaccine protects against four major strains of the bacteria that cause this disease. If you’re planning international travel, especially to places where meningitis is more common, such as during Hajj or Umrah, this vaccine can help keep you safe. We will guide you on the meningitis vaccine for travel, how many doses are needed, and when to get them.
Do I Need Meningitis ACWY Vaccination Services?
Are you travelling to a country where the Meningitis ACWY vaccine is required, such as Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah? Are you a student joining a university in the UK or planning to spend time in areas where outbreaks are known?
If yes, you may need the MenACWY vaccine UK travellers and students often get before their trip.
We will look at your travel plans, medical history, and risk factors. Based on this, we can provide:
- A single dose of the Meningitis ACWY injection in the UK
- Certification if you need proof of vaccination for travel or study
- Details about how long the vaccine protects and if you need a booster
We’ll also explain any mild meningitis vaccine side effects like redness, soreness, or tiredness so you know what to expect and feel reassured.
How Do Meningitis ACWY Vaccines Work?
The vaccine helps your body build immunity by making antibodies against four types of meningococcal bacteria. If you come into contact with the bacteria during your trip, these antibodies help protect you from getting seriously ill.
