About the NHS MenB Vaccination

The MenB vaccine helps protect against meningococcal group B bacteria, one of the most common causes of bacterial meningitis in the UK.

The NHS offers the MenB vaccination to eligible young people, particularly those preparing to start university or residential further education, where close contact with others can increase the risk of infection.

At Ryder’s Chemist, we’re proud to provide this NHS service to help protect our local community.

Who Can Have the MenB Vaccine?

You may be eligible for the NHS MenB vaccination if you meet the current NHS eligibility criteria.

This includes eligible young people who are starting university or residential further education for the first time.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, our pharmacy team will be happy to help.

Why Get Vaccinated?

The MenB vaccine helps reduce your risk of developing serious meningococcal disease.

Getting vaccinated before starting university provides protection during a time when you’ll be meeting new people and may be living in shared accommodation.

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to help protect yourself against MenB disease.
