Men B Vaccination - Recommendation needed

[stuspa]

Hi

I'm looking to get my 1 yr old son vaccinated against Meningitis B.

Does anyone have any recommendations of clinics in the area, ED, Camberwell, Herne Hill, Peckham or even London bridge way?

I understand he would need three doses across a period of time. Is that what people have found?

We've just been looking at the same thing and are going to use the Health Hub in Herne Hill (http://www.healthhub.london). We've used them before for other things and found them to be good. Not cheap at ?150 per dose for Men B but that seems to be about the going rate in London.

The only other method that was suggested to us was to get your doctor to give you a private prescription for it, buy it from the pharmacy (around ?70 per dose) and then go back for the doctor to administer it - but I'm not sure how feasible this route is.

We are also going to use Health Hub for Men B in a few weeks having used them for chicken pox. They are very nice and it's easily accessible from ED.

I tried enquiring about getting a private prescription for chicken pox for my GP to administer and thd nurse looked at me like I was talking about going to the moon so I think you need to be lucky with your GO for that route to work!
