Meningitis C vaccination bulletin

Following the success of the Meningitis C immunisation campaign (which has reduced the incidence of meningococcal C related illness by 90% in 15 - 17 year olds) the Department of Health has extended the cover of Meningitis C vaccination to everyone under the age of 25 years of age.

Please consult the document Meningitis C vaccination: do you need it? (Word) to see if you should get vaccinated.

If you do need to be vaccinated, please come to the Medical Centre and speak to one of the nurses.

Further information about meningitis and the immunisation campaign is available at A guide to meningoccal infection - meningitis and the need for vaccination (Word).
