We offer Private Men B (Meningococcal B) vaccines. £120 Per Dose. You can pre-book your appointment from now. NHS Patients: If you are eligible for the free NHS service, please
Meningococcal disease is rare but very serious and requires urgent hospital treatment. It can lead to life-changing disabilities such as amputations, hearing loss, brain damage and scars. It is caused by meningococcal bacteria which are divided into several groups.
We offer vaccination to help prevent cases of meningitis (an infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and septicaemia (blood poisoning) caused by most strains of the Meningococcal B bacteria.
Our Vaccines
Due to national supply fluctuations, we offer two different vaccines: Bexsero and Trumenba. Both are highly effective and UK-licensed, but they follow different dosing schedules.
Important: These vaccines are not interchangeable. You must complete your full course with the same brand you started with.
1. Bexsero
Bexsero helps protect against most strains of Neisseria meningitidis group B. It has been used in the UK routine immunisation programme for babies since 2015 and has led to a 75% reduction in MenB disease in vaccinated groups.
– Number of doses: 2 doses.
– Schedule: The second dose must be given at least 4 weeks after the first dose.
– Patient Information: Read the Bexsero Leaflet
2. Trumenba
Trumenba is specifically designed for adolescents and adults (aged 10+) to provide broad protection against MenB by targeting specific proteins on the bacteria’s surface.
– Number of doses: 2 doses.
– Schedule: The second dose must be given 6 months after the first dose.
– Patient Information: Read the Trumenda Leaflet
How the vaccine is given
Common side effects
It is common to get some swelling, redness or tenderness where you have the injection. You may also get a mild fever, nausea, headache or muscle aches but these symptoms should disappear after 1 or 2 days.
More serious side effects are rare. You can take over the counter pain medication such as paracetamol to manage these symptoms if needed.
Note for Students and Young Adults
While these vaccines protect against Group B, please ensure you have also received your MenACWY vaccine (usually given in school). You need both to be protected against the five main groups of meningitis.
