Genuine question about new meningitis vaccination for teenagers

26 replies

ArgyMargy · 10/08/2015 09:33

From the NHS website: Students going away to university or college for the first time as freshers should contact their GP to have the Men ACWY vaccine, ideally before the start of the academic year. Students in their second year or above of university do not need the vaccine and are not included in this programme.

Can anyone tell me why 2nd and 3rd students are magically immune to meningitis?

DS had his Men W this morning. The nurse told him they have not sent the letters out to freshers because they only have 6 jabs available and keep being told it is out of stock!
