MenB vaccinations 

The MenB vaccination is a two-dose course.

  • First dose of MenB vaccine only gives about 30 per cent protection.
  • Second dose boosts protection to around 90 per cent.
You should get your second vaccine from 28 days after your first dose.

The NHS offered the first dose of the vaccination to eligible people until 8 May 2026.

The NHS continues to offer second doses of the MenB vaccination to eligible people who had the first dose. 

More information is available on the MenB second-dose vaccinations page.
