Meningococcal ACWY – Call / recall of current Year 13s to begin for GP practices

Eligible the population (DOB 01/09/1998 – 31/08/1999) who have not had a MenACWY conjugate vaccination since the age of 10 (i.e. previous travel vaccine)

From the 1 April 2017 a new cohort of Year 13 students will become eligible for call and recall of MenACWY. It is being offered in response to an increasing number of cases of a highly aggressive strain of meningococcal W (MenW). This disease can cause meningitis (inflammation of the brain) and septicaemia (blood poisoning) that can kill in hours and those who recover may be left severely disabled. Young people starting university are particularly at risk of MenW. 

ACTION - please inform year 13 students that they can have Meningococcal ACWY at their GP practices from 1^stApril.
