Sandwell Travel Clinic provides a quick & professional Meningitis vaccination service.
Speak to your GP if you're not sure whether you or your child's vaccinations are up to date.
Meningitis can be caused by a number of different infections, so several vaccinations offer some protection against it.
Vaccines to protect against multiple strains of meningococcal meningitis for travellers are available: Menveo and Nimenrix. Individuals should consider being vaccinated if they are travelling to a country where meningococcal meningitis is present and where their stay maybe prolonged or they are involved in activities which may increase the risk of exposure to the disease, for example, working in a healthcare setting and living closely with the local population.
