Young people

The MenB vaccination will be offered to all those aged 17 and 18 who were born between 01/09/2007 and 31/08/2008. The vaccine is also available to those turning 25 after 31/12/2026 who will be attending Higher Education or Residential Further Education for the first time from Autumn 2026.

Gonorrhoea

A vaccine is available to help protect against gonorrhoea. In Wales, the NHS offers the vaccine on a case-by-case basis to gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM).
