📍 Due to the recent meningitis B outbreak in Canterbury, we have seen an increase in calls regarding vaccinations.
🧒 Anyone born after 2015 will have received the meningitis B (MenB) vaccine as part of the routine childhood immunisation schedule.
🚫 At this time, there is no catch‑up programme available for MenB vaccinations.
💉 From August 2015 children in school year 9 have been vaccinated with the menACWY vaccination which protects against other strains of meningitis. If you missed your menACWY vaccination you can ask to have a menACWY vaccination at your GP practice up to your 25th birthday.
📱 You can check your vaccination history via the NHS App.
