Vaccinations for students

Infectious diseases can spread easily in university communities, as more face-to-face contact means you’re at higher risk of catching and passing on infectious diseases.

It’s really important for all students to ensure they’re up-to-date with their vaccines before starting college or university. You should have had:

  • Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)
  • Meningitis ACWY (MenACWY)

If you’ve missed any of your vaccines, make sure you try and get it as soon as possible.

You can find out more about the recommended vaccinations for students, and how to book your vaccines, on the NHS inform website.
