Meningococcal disease spreads through close contact, coughing, or sharing food. Risks are highest in crowded settings like pilgrimages, dorms, and gatherings.
We offer Nimenrix, Menveo, and MenQuadfi to protect against strains A, C, W, and Y. Your clinician will select the most suitable vaccine based on your age and health history.
Menveo, produced by GSK, is suitable for adults and children aged two and older. It’s a reliable single-dose injection offering protection against four meningococcal strains for your travels.
MenQuadfi by Sanofi offers identical protection to Nimenrix and Menveo in one dose for those aged two and up. Your clinician will confirm its suitability during your appointment.
Nimenrix is a Pfizer-manufactured vaccine for adults and children aged two and up. This single injection provides effective protection against four common meningococcal strains.
Side effects are usually mild, like site soreness or mild headaches, resolving quickly. Please mention any known allergies or past vaccine reactions to your clinician before your appointment.
MenACWY is mandatory for pilgrims and strongly recommended for travellers visiting high-risk regions.
Disclose medical conditions, allergies, or medications to your pharmacist before your appointment.
Hajj and Umrah pilgrims
Mass gatherings increase respiratory transmission due to close proximity.
Travellers to the Sub-Saharan meningitis belt
Regular epidemics of strains A and W occur in this region.
Students starting university
Communal living and shared social settings significantly raise exposure risks.
Those with asplenia or complement deficiency
Weakened immunity against Neisseria meningitidis requires specialist advice on booster intervals.
Backpackers attending festivals or large events
Close contact in high-risk areas increases the likelihood of encountering infectious carriers.
Long-stay travellers and aid workers
Extended stays in areas with high carriage rates increase cumulative exposure.
Young adults aged 16 to 25
This group has higher meningococcal carriage rates and socialises in settings that increase transmission risk.

Real experiences from patients who trusted our Medway travel clinic for their vaccinations and travel health advice.
Yes. Saudi Arabia mandates MenACWY vaccination for Hajj and Umrah visas. It must be administered at least 10 days before arrival; we provide same-day official certification.
Individuals aged 10–25 or first-year students under 25 who haven’t had the vaccine may be eligible for free NHS doses via their GP. Please verify this before booking privately.
The MenACWY vaccine costs £50 and is a single-dose vaccination. No separate consultation fee applies when the vaccine is administered on the day of your appointment.
The MenACWY vaccine provides protection for up to five years. If you are a frequent traveller to high-risk destinations or are making repeated pilgrimage trips, your clinician will advise on the appropriate time to revaccinate.
We stock Nimenrix, Menveo, and MenQuadfi and administer whichever is available and most appropriate for your age and health profile on the day. All three provide equivalent protection against strains A, C, W, and Y and your clinician will confirm the brand used.
If you have received a MenC or Hib/MenC vaccine in the last four weeks, a one-month interval is required before MenACWY can be administered. Please inform the pharmacist when booking so your appointment can be scheduled at the correct time.
