NHS MenB Vaccination for Students | Sheffield News

NHS launches urgent MenB vaccination drive for 17-18-year-olds born 2007-2008 and new university students — targeting a deadly, fast-spreading illness that caused two deaths and left many critically ill in Kent. With meningitis and septicaemia able to cause brain damage or death within hours, the campaign urges immediate action: if you suspect symptoms, call 999. Students in dorms and shared spaces are especially vulnerable — the vaccine is your shield. Book online, visit participating pharmacies (bring your uni letter if not GP-registered), or call 119 for free help — and get both doses at least four weeks apart. This is a one-time, temporary rollout to protect students as campuses reopen. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
