Meningococcal group B bacteria cause the majority of meningitis B cases in the UK. It results in severe illness that can progress from initial symptoms to life-threatening complications within hours. The MenB vaccine provides crucial protection against this aggressive infection.
At our Slough Travel Clinic, we provide Bexsero. It is a meningitis B vaccination, which protects children aged 2 years and above, adolescents, and adults against meningococcal group B disease. Our experienced pharmacists deliver comprehensive health assessments and ensure your family receives the protection they need.
You can call or book online to schedule your MenB vaccination consultation. We accommodate same-day requests for urgent needs and recommend advance booking for routine immunisation.
Our pharmacists reviews your medical history, discusses the meningitis B vaccine, and confirms suitability. For children, we provide detailed guidance on managing fever post-vaccination. You'll receive your first MenB dose during this appointment and schedule subsequent doses according to the recommended schedule.
Return for your second dose according to the recommended schedule. Full protection develops 2–4 weeks after completing the course. You'll receive documentation of all vaccinations for your records.
Meningitis is inflammation of the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Septicaemia (blood poisoning) occurs when bacteria multiply in the bloodstream. It triggered a widespread inflammatory response. Both conditions can occur simultaneously or independently.
Meningococcal group B bacteria cause approximately 90% of meningococcal disease cases in children and 50–60% in adolescents and young adults in the UK. The infection strikes rapidly and can cause death or permanent disability within 24 hours of first symptoms appearing.
The MenB vaccine provides protection against the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in the UK. Meningococcal B disease kills approximately 1 in 10 people infected. It leaves 1 in 5 survivors with permanent disabilities including brain damage, hearing loss, limb amputation, and organ failure.
Symptoms escalate from flu-like illness to critical condition within hours
Even with prompt treatment, meningococcal septicaemia has a 10% fatality rate
