Targeted programme ahead of further and higher education terms

Thousands of young people in Scotland are to be offered free vaccination against meningococcal B disease (MenB) ahead of the 2026-27 academic year.

Meningococcal disease, which can include meningitis and/or septicaemia, is life-threatening and can result in life-changing disabilities including amputations, hearing loss, and brain damage. It is fatal in around 10% of cases.

The transition to university or college – particularly into shared accommodation – is one of the highest-risk periods for the disease, as close contact with large numbers of new people increases the risk of it spreading.

The programme will start in July 2026 and two doses are essential for full protection.

It is open to:

  • young people born between 1 March 2008 and 28 February 2009, and any others who were in S6 during the 2025-26 academic year, regardless of future education plans
  • undergraduate university entrants under the age of 25 who are starting for the first time in the academic year 2026-27, including international students
  • college entrants under 25 starting for the first time in the academic year 2026-27 while living away from home in shared student accommodation, including international students

All key information will be published on https://www.nhsinform.scot/menb-youngpeople

Details on how those eligible for the vaccine can book an appointment will be published here as soon as our plans are finalised.
