Meningitis B

Meningitis B Vaccine at Monkbar Pharmacy, UK

Protecting You and Your Family Against Meningitis B

Meningitis B is a serious bacterial infection that can lead to meningitis (inflammation of the lining around the brain and spinal cord) and septicaemia (blood poisoning). This infection can progress rapidly, leading to severe complications such as hearing loss, limb amputation, brain damage, or even death. While anyone can contract Meningitis B, babies, young children, and teenagers are at the highest risk.

At Monkbar Pharmacy, we’re committed to providing accessible healthcare to help keep you and your loved ones safe. Our team is pleased to offer the Meningitis B vaccine to those who wish to protect themselves against this dangerous infection.

Why Get the Meningitis B Vaccine?

The Meningitis B vaccine is a reliable way to protect against the Neisseria meningitidis type B bacteria, one of the leading causes of bacterial meningitis in the UK. Vaccination offers significant protection against this potentially deadly infection and is recommended for individuals who are at increased risk.

  • Who is at risk?
  • Infants and young children (particularly under the age of one)
  • Teenagers and young adults
  • Individuals with weakened immune systems

NHS Meningitis B Vaccination

In the UK, the Meningitis B vaccine is available through the NHS as part of the routine vaccination programme for infants. Babies are offered the vaccine at 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and a booster at 1 year of age. However, those who missed these NHS vaccinations, as well as older children and adults who want additional protection, can receive the Meningitis B vaccine privately at Monkbar Pharmacy.
