Immunisations

We offer a wide range of vaccinations and many of these are funded including all childhood immunisations.

We recommend the meningococcal vaccine for all children aged 11-18 years old to protect against Meningitis, a serious but uncommon brain infection. Students living in student accommodation may also be at higher risk.
