Meningococcal B vaccine for 15 - 19 years olds living in Queensland
My teen had their childhood vaccinations, aren’t they already protected against meningococcal? No, vaccines for most strains of meningococcal disease weren’t around when your teenager had their childhood vaccinations. Being vaccinated against one strain doesn’t give protection against others.
Read more about meningococcal B on the Vaccination Matters website.
Protecting teenagers from the Meningococcal strains A, B, C, W and Y. Vaccination is the best protection against meningococcal disease.
We now know that Meningococcal B is the most common cause of illness and death from meningococcal disease in Queensland.
To protect our teens against this strain, commencing 2024 the meningococcal B vaccine is free through the Queensland School Immunisation Program for Year 10 students.
Getting the vaccine Your teenager can get the vaccine at school. If they don’t go to school or missed their vaccinations at school and are aged between 15 - 19, they can get it with their GP.
