Updated: New version of the MenACWY leaflet for university students includes eligible age group.

A catch–up programme offering MenACWY vaccination to all 13 to 19 year olds and new university entrants is starting from August 2015. This is in response to a rapid and accelerating increase in cases of invasive meningococcal group W (MenW) disease.

This leaflet, aimed at students who have just entered university from overseas or not directly from school, explains the importance of having the MenACWY vaccine.
