Vaccinations
Before coming to University we also recommend you ensure that your vaccinations for other infections are up to date. Please consult your current doctor to check if you have had the vaccines below and, if you have not, arrange to receive them before coming to Durham.
If you are unable to receive any of these vaccinations before you arrive in Durham, register with a medical practice as soon as possible on arrival (see above) and seek advice about accessing vaccinations.

Meningitis (MenACWY)
It is extremely important that all students have had a vaccination to prevent meningitis and septicaemia, which can be deadly. Please ensure you have received the MenACWY vaccine which is highly effective in preventing illness caused by the four meningococcal strains, including the Men W strain.
