Cardiff and Vale University Health Board holding walk in clinics for young people who have missed their MenACWY vaccination appointment.
The health board has organised catch-up clinics for teenagers and young adults who have not had an important meningitis vaccination.
The walk-in clinics for young people in Year 9 and up to the age of 25, and are being held every Saturday from 21st March, until further notice at:
- Barry Hospital, Colcot Road, CF62 8YH (9am-4.30pm)
- Maelfa Wellbeing Hub, Llanedeyrn, Cardiff, CF23 9PN (9am-4.30pm)
Young people aged 13-14 (school Year 9) are invited by GPs in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan to receive this vaccine as part of their routine schedule but sometimes these appointments can get missed.
The MenACWY vaccine protects against meningococcal disease type A, C, W and Y.
While rare, meningococcal disease can be very serious and require urgent hospital treatment. It can lead to life-changing disabilities such as amputations, hearing loss, brain damage and scars.
If parents of younger children would like information about their meningitis B and pneumococcal vaccination status - both of which are given to children as part of their routine vaccination schedule up to the age of 2, they can call the vaccination service on 02921 841234, which is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 4.45pm, or book any missed doses with your GP.
