Non-urgent advice: Important
If you’re starting college or university, you should make sure you’ve already had:
- the MenACWY vaccine – which protects against serious infections like meningitis. You can still ask your GP for this vaccine until your 25th birthday.
- 2 doses of the MMR vaccine – as there are outbreaks of mumps and measles at universities. If you have not previously had 2 doses of MMR, you can still ask your GP for the vaccine.
- the HPV vaccine – which helps protect against genital warts and cancers caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), such as cervical cancer.
Speak to us if:
- you think you or your child have missed any vaccinations
- you or your child have a vaccination appointment – but you’ve missed it or cannot attend
We can book or rearrange an appointment.
It’s best to have vaccines on time, but you can still catch up on most vaccines if you miss them.
