Meningitis ACWY Vaccine in HORNCHURCH

About this service at Healthcare Pharmacy - Hornchurch

Meningococcal disease is a life-threatening infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis bacteria that leads to meningitis (inflammation of the protective brain membranes) and septicemia (blood poisoning). The MenACWY conjugate vaccine protects against four major aggressive strains: A, C, W, and Y. Strain W is particularly virulent and can present with unusual gastrointestinal symptoms before rapid deterioration. Teenagers, university students living in halls, and international travellers (especially to the sub-Saharan African meningitis belt and pilgrims to Saudi Arabia) are at heightened risk of carriage and transmission. A single dose provides robust immunity lasting up to 5 years.
