NHS Meningitis B service - Now avaiable

 

Some young adults aged between 17 and 25 years old can get free NHS MenB vaccinations this year.  

They are recommended to help protect those at highest risk from MenB disease.  

MenB disease is a serious bacterial infection which can cause meningitis, blood poisoning, and sepsis. It progresses very quickly and can be fatal.   

 

Who is eligible? 

Free NHS MenB vaccinations will be available from 20th July 2026  if you were:   

• Born between 1st September 2007 and 31st August 2008, or   

• Born on or after 21st July 2001 and are starting university for the first time in autumn, or  

• Born on or after 21st July 2001 and are starting some residential further education colleges for the first time in autumn 2026 as a residential student  

When you go for your vaccinations, staff may ask which of these groups you are in.  Please have your offer of a college or university place with you to show them.   

 

How to get your vaccinations  

Two doses of the MenB vaccine are necessary, at least 28 days apart.  

• Book your 1st dose online at www.nhs.uk/book-menb,

You will be able to book your 2nd dose once you have had your 1st dose. 

 

Why the NHS is offering you MenB vaccinations 

MenB can cause meningitis, where the membranes surrounding the brain or spine become inflamed. This can lead to brain damage.   

If MenB enters the blood, it can cause septicaemia (blood poisoning) which can damage the body’s tissues and organs. 

It can also cause sepsis, a life-threatening reaction to an infection. 

Some people carry MenB bacteria in their nose or throat without becoming ill. It can spread through close and regular contact such as sneezing, coughing, kissing or sharing food or drinks when people live or socialise closely together, including at universities.

New Private Service - Weight Loss Injections (Wegovy & Mounjaro) and Tablets (Wegovy)

​

Shockingly, one in four people in the UK is now classified as obese. The Department of Health has also recently warned that obesity has overtaken smoking as the leading cause of some cancers.

 

Being overweight can impact self-esteem and trigger a host of related health issues. If you’ve tried to lose weight before, or if you have decided to take steps now, your local pharmacy could be a great place to start.

 

We can provide convenient and personalised help without a trip to your GP or a doctor’s prescription. Pharmadoctor works with pharmacists all across the UK to make comprehensive weight management services accessible, including, if appropriate, prescription-only treatments; some of which are not readily available on the NHS.  Click on the link below to book an appointment.
