Student? Update your vaccinations ahead of Freshers’ Week
the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is encouraging students heading to university in September to ensure they are up to date with their vaccinations ahead of Freshers’ Week to protect themselves.
First year or returning students can be at increased risk of serious diseases such as meningitis, septicaemia and measles as they mix with large numbers of other students.
The UKHSA and meningitis charities are urging parents and students to ensure they are protected before the term begins as many of these illnesses arise at the start of the academic year.
