Going to University?
If you are planning to go to University, you will be offered the MenACWY vaccine. This protects against Meningitis (inflammation of the brain) and Septicaemia (blood poisoning) caused by meningococcal Groups A C W & Y. Please make an appointment with the nurse before leaving for university. You are more at risk of Meningitis and Septicaemia in the first weeks at university when you mix with lots of new people, some of whom may unknowingly carry the meningococcal bacteria, which is usually spread through prolonged close contact
