Protect yourself from the serious risks of meningitis by booking a private meningitis vaccine appointment at Touchwood Pharmacy. Our expert team ensures you get safe, fast, and reliable protection against this dangerous disease.

Why Get Meningitis Vaccination?
Meningitis is a serious infection that causes swelling around the brain and spinal cord. It can spread through close contact and may lead to hearing loss, brain damage, or even death. Getting the meningitis vaccine helps your body build immunity and reduces the risk of severe illness.
Our pharmacist can guide you on which vaccine is right for you, including the MenACWY vaccine or the meningitis B vaccine. This is especially important for travellers, students, and those with weaker immune systems. We also explain how long each vaccine lasts and when a booster may be needed.
Do I Need Meningitis Vaccination Services?
Are you planning to travel to Africa’s meningitis belt or attend university? Do you have children, teens, or elderly loved ones who are more vulnerable?
If yes, you could benefit from the meningitis vaccine for adults or children. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
- MenACWY vaccine for travel or teenagers
- MenB vaccine for babies or those at higher risk
- A booster if your last vaccine was given years ago
Our team will explain common side effects like mild fever or swelling and help you feel confident about your protection.
How Do Meningitis Vaccines Work?
Meningitis vaccines work by training your immune system to fight the bacteria that cause meningitis. If you come into contact with the infection, your body will be better prepared to fight it off quickly. This greatly lowers the chances of serious illness or long-term damage.
How to protect yourself and others?
Book your meningitis vaccination with one of our trained immunisation experts today and travel with peace of mind.
When Should I Visit a Meningitis Vaccination Clinic?
You should aim to get your meningitis vaccine at least 2 to 4 weeks before travelling to a high-risk area or before starting university. This gives your body enough time to build strong protection.
Touchwood Pharmacy offers the MenACWY and MenB vaccines at locations including Bromley, Camberley, Leighton-Buzzard, Northampton, Northolt, Ramsgate, Streatham and Sydenham. Book your appointment now and stay one step ahead of meningitis.
