About Meningitis ACWY
Meningococcal disease can lead to severe health issues, including meningitis (inflammation of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord) and septicaemia (blood poisoning). These infections can be life-threatening and spread quickly, particularly in crowded or close-contact settings. The Meningitis ACWY vaccine provides broad protection against the most common strains of the bacteria.
Will I Need a Meningitis ACWY Jab to Travel?
Yes, if you're travelling to regions where meningococcal disease is prevalent, especially parts of Africa, Saudi Arabia, or if you’re attending large gatherings like the Hajj pilgrimage. Many countries also require proof of vaccination for entry or visa applications.
