If you're travelling to the UK for the Autumn 2026 intake, here's an important health update you should be aware of.
The UK Government is offering eligible first-time university students under 25 the MenB (Bexsero) vaccination.
💉 What is MenB vaccination?
The MenB vaccine helps protect against meningococcal group B bacteria, which can cause serious infections such as meningitis and septicaemia.
International students are advised to receive their first dose in their home country, where the vaccine is available, before travelling to the UK.
Please note that this is not a student visa or university enrolment requirement. However, eligible students are encouraged to speak with their healthcare provider about the vaccination before travelling.
