MenB (Meningitis B) Vaccine – Private Vaccination in North London
We understand that recent reports of rising Meningitis infections may be causing concern for many families.
The Meningitis B (MenB) vaccine is not routinely offered to all age groups. If you or your child were born before May 2015, it is unlikely that you received this vaccine as part of the NHS schedule.
Due to high demand, we are currently operating a waiting list, and we encourage patients to register their interest in advance. Our team will contact you as soon as appointments become available.
Meningitis B is a serious infection, and vaccination is the most effective way to help protect against it. If you are unsure about your or your child’s vaccination status, our clinical team will be happy to provide guidance.
