What the MenB vaccine does

MenB vaccine helps protect against meningitis and sepsis caused by group B meningococcal bacteria. These infections develop quickly and can be life threatening. Vaccination reduces your risk and helps protect people around you in the community.

On the NHS, babies are offered doses in the first year of life. If your child missed a dose or you have questions, we can advise on catch up options. Older children, students and adults can choose vaccination privately for added protection, especially before travel or living in shared settings.

You may get a sore arm, mild fever or headache after the injection. These effects usually settle within two days. Babies often develop a fever after MenB. You can give liquid paracetamol in the correct dose for age. Bring your child well fed and hydrated. Wear short sleeves or dress your child in easy clothing to make the appointment smoother.

We will check your health, explain benefits and risks, and agree a plan. Some people at higher risk may need more than one dose. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, tell the pharmacist so we can assess your needs. Evidence shows the vaccine can be given when the benefits outweigh the risks. Bring any previous vaccine records. We serve South Ealing, Ealing, Acton, Hanwell, Brentford and nearby areas.
