Meningitis B Immunisation

	
Course: The course requires between two and four doses, dependant upon your age.
	
Boosters: Children over 2 and adults won’t need a booster, but young children under two may need one or two boosters.
	
How it is given: The vaccine is given as an injection.
	
Side effects:  Mild side effects may occur after any immunisation, including redness and soreness at the injection site.  Some people may also experience a fever or short-term digestive problems.  In most cases these symptoms are short-lived and minor in nature.
	
Age Range: We can provide this service for adults and children from the age of two months.
	
Additional precautions: Meningitis is a very serious disease and it is important to seek immediate medical attention if you suspect that you or anyone you know experiences meningitis symptoms. Early treatment is life-saving and also vital to prevent severe complications. The meningitis B vaccine does not protect you against meningitis A,C,W and Y.
 
Please Note - At least two separate doses are required for this immunisation to be fully effective.  The price quoted is for one immunisation only.
