NHS Service
If you are looking to protect yourself or a loved one against meningitis, we offer the meningitis vaccine through our travel clinic at Touchwood Pharmacy in Lichfield. Meningitis is a serious infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, caused by various bacterial and viral strains. The MenACWY vaccine protects against four of the most dangerous strains, including those responsible for outbreaks among students, travellers, and Hajj pilgrims. It can affect people of any age, but teenagers, young adults, and those travelling to high-risk regions are particularly vulnerable. Our trained pharmacists are here to guide you through your options, ensuring you receive the right meningitis vaccination based on your age, lifestyle, and travel plans.
