What Is Meningitis B?
Meningitis B is caused by Meningococcal group B bacteria, which can infect the protective lining of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) or enter the bloodstream (septicaemia).
The disease can progress rapidly, often within hours, and lead to:
- Brain damage
- Hearing loss
- Seizures
- Amputation
- Death in severe cases
Babies under 1 year are most at risk, followed by toddlers and teenagers.
Who Should Get the Meningitis B Vaccine?
The MenB vaccine is recommended for:
- Babies aged 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 1 year (part of the NHS schedule)
- Children who missed their scheduled doses
- Parents seeking private catch-up vaccinations
- Children attending nurseries or preparing to travel
- Immunocompromised children or those in close contact with high-risk individuals
If your child did not receive the MenB vaccine on the NHS — or if you want to ensure complete protection — we offer private Meningitis B vaccination in Huddersfield with flexible scheduling.
How the Meningitis B Vaccine Works
The MenB vaccine helps the immune system build protection against Meningococcal group B bacteria, the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in the UK.
Vaccination schedule:
- Infants (under 1 year): Typically given at 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 12 months
- Older children: May need 2 doses, 1–2 months apart (depending on age)
The vaccine is not live, and does not contain the bacteria — only components to help the immune system recognise and fight infection.
Why Get the Meningitis B Vaccine?
✔ Protects against one of the most dangerous forms of meningitis
✔ Reduces the risk of long-term complications
✔ Essential for babies and toddlers during their most vulnerable years
✔ Ideal for catch-up if doses were missed or delayed
✔ Peace of mind for parents — especially for nursery, school, or travel readiness
How to Get the Meningitis B Vaccine at Park View Pharmacy
Getting your child vaccinated is quick and straightforward. Here’s the process:
Receive the Vaccine
The MenB vaccine is given as an injection in the thigh or arm, depending on age. We’ll help keep your child calm and comfortable.

FAQs – Meningitis B Vaccine
Is the MenB vaccine safe?
Yes — it’s approved for use in the UK and widely used with a strong safety profile. Mild side effects like redness, swelling, or fever are common and short-lived.
Can my child have the MenB vaccine if they missed it on the NHS?
Absolutely. We offer catch-up vaccinations for children of all ages who may have missed their scheduled doses.
Can the MenB vaccine be given with other vaccines?
Yes — it can be given alongside other routine childhood vaccines, including MMR and Pneumococcal.
Do older children or teens need the MenB vaccine?
Teenagers may also benefit, especially before entering shared living environments such as university halls. Ask us about suitable options based on age.
How many doses does my child need?
This depends on your child’s age. Infants usually need 3 doses, while older children may only need 2. We’ll confirm during your consultation.
