Chicken Pox Vaccination

This service is for children 12 months and older who have not had chickenpox in the past. This privately administered vaccination course of Varivax involves two doses given four to eight weeks apart.

Shingles Vaccination

A single dose of the Zostavax vaccine can give good protection against this condition. Shingles manifests as a painful, blistering rash – it usually affects one part of the body and the painful and uncomfortable rash can last for several weeks. Some people are left with long lasting postherpetic neuralgia and can feel quite unwell for a considerable period after the initial rash has healed.

Meningitis B Vaccination

A two dose vaccine for adults and children. Meningitis B is the prevalent strain in the UK –it causes an infection around the brain which is often serious and can be fatal. It is most common in babies and under 5 year olds with a second incidence peak in adolescence. The inactivated Bexsero vaccination course prevents Meningitis but cannot itself cause the disease.
