Men B update
Important Notice: Meningitis (Men B) Vaccination Enquiries
Due to the current meningitis outbreak in Kent, we are experiencing a significant increase in patient calls requesting vaccination records.
Please be aware that the Men B (Meningococcal B) vaccine was only introduced into the UK routine immunisation schedule in 2015, and is offered to babies up to 1 year of age.
This means that if you were born before 2015, it is unlikely that you received the Men B vaccine as part of the standard programme.
If you require a copy of your vaccination record, we kindly ask that you do not call the surgery. To help keep our phone lines free for urgent medical needs, please submit your request by email:
cmicb-war.strettonmc@nhs.net
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this busy time.
