Should I still be vaccinated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Having had shingles does not guarantee against another episode.

Infants starting between 2 and 5 months typically receive 3 primary doses plus a booster after the first birthday. Infants starting between 6 and 11 months receive 2 doses at least 2 months apart, plus a booster in the second year. Children aged 12 to 23 months receive 2 doses at least 2 months apart with a booster 12 to 23 months later. Children aged 2 years and over and adults receive 2 doses at least 1 month apart.

This private service is for people outside that group, including older children whose parents want catch-up doses, adolescents, students and at-risk adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs fever common after Bexsero in infants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Fever within 24 hours of the injection is common in infants under 2 years, especially when Bexsero is given with other routine vaccines. Prophylactic paracetamol is recommended for infants under 2; please bring infant paracetamol with you to the appointment. The fever is usually short-lived and settles within 1 to 2 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan adults have the MenB vaccine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Bexsero is licensed from 2 months of age with no upper age limit. Adults at higher risk because of medical conditions (such as splenectomy or complement deficiency), occupation (lab work with N. meningitidis), or travel to outbreak areas can receive a 2-dose course at least 1 month apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan MenB be given at the same time as other vaccines?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Bexsero can be co-administered with most routine childhood and adult vaccines, including MenACWY, MMR, HPV and seasonal flu, at different injection sites. The pharmacist will plan timing if you wish to combine appointments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the common side effects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common side effects are local: tenderness, redness or swelling at the injection site, plus fever, irritability or sleepiness in infants and headache or muscle ache in adults. Serious reactions are rare.
