What is Meningitis ACWY vaccination for?

This vaccine helps protect against meningococcal groups A, C, W and Y, which can cause meningitis and septicaemia. It is commonly considered for certain travel destinations and some entry requirements.

Who may need it?

Travellers to parts of Africa and the Middle East, including some Hajj or Umrah journeys, and people with specific risk factors may be advised to consider MenACWY vaccination.

Bring destination details and any certificate requirements. We will check suitability and explain what documentation you may need.

Is this the same as MenB?
