Protect against meningitis B with our private vaccination service in Wythenshawe, Manchester. Bexsero is the only licensed UK MenB vaccine — ideal for students and teenagers, and for children or adults who missed their NHS doses.
Protection against a rare but very serious infection
Meningitis B is a bacterial infection that can cause meningitis and blood poisoning (septicaemia). It can develop within hours and be life-threatening, and survivors can be left with lasting effects. The Bexsero vaccine protects against meningococcal group B, the most common cause of bacterial meningitis in the UK.
Babies and young children are at highest risk. Bexsero can be given from 2 months of age.
There's a second peak in older teenagers and students, who may also want protection.
Given as one injection into the upper arm for adults and older children. Babies follow a different schedule — our pharmacist will advise.
A serious infection that can move quickly
Meningitis B is caused by meningococcal group B bacteria, which can inflame the lining of the brain and cause blood poisoning.
Symptoms can appear and worsen within hours. Early treatment is vital, which is why prevention matters.
Most common in children under 5, with a second peak in teenagers and young adults aged 15–24, especially students.
It can be life-threatening, and some survivors are left with hearing loss, scarring or other long-term effects.
Warning signs include fever, a severe headache, a stiff neck, dislike of bright light and a rash that does not fade when pressed with a glass. In babies, look for a high-pitched cry, floppiness or refusing feeds. If you suspect meningitis, seek urgent medical help — vaccination is the best prevention.
Recommended across all ages, with two peaks of risk
The highest-risk group. A good choice for infants and children, including those who missed NHS doses.
A second peak of risk hits older teenagers and students. Worth considering for anyone wanting cover.
Clear pricing per dose — no hidden extras
Price is £100 per dose. The number of doses needed depends on age, so our pharmacist will confirm the right schedule for you or your child.
