If the answer is yes – do ensure you highlight this to customers.

Everybody is at risk, but certain age groups are more susceptible so do speak to:-.

• Parents where their children may have missed their routine school vaccines
• Students who are attending university for the first time
• Travellers who are going to at risk areas
• Pilgrims travelling to Saudi Arabia for Hajj or Umrah, who are required to show proof of vaccination

Pharmacy presents an ideal destination to obtain their vaccination via a private meningitis vaccination service. This can broaden the pharmacy service library and cater to those customers who don’t want the inconvenience of waiting for an appointment at their GP practice.

More information, service support material and guidance in the set up and delivery of a private meningitis vaccination service are available on Numarknet.
