Protecting young people against Meningitis B has never been more important. Our job as a specialist pharmacy company** is to make it straightforward for your school, university, or institution to get vaccinated.
We specialise in delivering large-scale vaccination programmes for educational settings, with over 22 years of experience providing NHS and private vaccination services safely, professionally, and at scale.
Why Schools and Universities Need to Act Now
Many students currently in secondary school or higher education were born before September 2015, when the NHS MenB vaccine was first introduced into the routine childhood immunisation schedule. This means a significant proportion of young people aged 11–25 have never been vaccinated against Meningitis B and remain vulnerable.
Young people in educational settings face a higher risk of meningococcal infection due to close social contact, shared accommodation, communal environments, and frequent mixing, making proactive vaccination programmes in schools and universities extremely important.
Meningitis B is a fast-progressing bacterial infection that can become life-threatening within hours, often starting with symptoms as small as a headache and developing into septicaemia. Early vaccination is the most effective form of protection.
