Private Meningitis ACWY Vaccine

The new Meningitis ACWY vaccines called 'Menveo' or 'Nimenrix' are licensed in the UK for use in the prevention of serious strains of meningitis.

Both brands of the Men ACWY vaccine offer protection against invasive meningococcal diseases  of strains 'A', 'C', 'W' & 'Y'. The vaccine is now recommended for new college and university students in the UK. Meningitis W - a deadly and highly aggressive strain is now on the rise in the UK with 1000% increase in known cases over the last 6 years.

Young people starting university or college this autumn are being urged to get a vaccine against meningitis. Public Health England says the Men ACWY vaccine will help protect against meningitis W in particular as new university students are at risk as they often mix closely with groups of unfamiliar people - some who may unknowingly carry the bug.

Meningitis W infection is fatal in one in 10 cases and can lead to long-term health problems including deafness, epilepsy and amputations.
