Purpose and outline

The purpose of the service is to enable NHS England to commission MenACWY immunisation services of sufficient quantity and quality to prevent the infections and outbreaks caused by these organisms.

The JCVI advised that there was an outbreak of Meningococcal W in 2016 and a vaccination programme of all 14-18 year old patients was agreed. To achieve this the completing dose and those aged 18 years on 31 August programmes have now been combined in to one programme for those who attained the age of 14 years but not yet attained 25 years who have not been vaccinated under the schools programme.

The conjugate vaccine (ACWY) will be provided by central supply for all patients in this cohort.
