🚨 MENINGITIS B VACCINES IN STOCK 🚨

If you were born before 2015, you are unlikely to have received the MenB vaccine as part of the routine UK childhood immunisation programme.

Following the recent tragic news of a student death and multiple confirmed cases of Meningitis B linked to the Reading/Oxfordshire area, awareness around meningococcal infection has understandably increased.

At Queensferry Pharmacy we currently have Meningitis B vaccines available for eligible private vaccination appointments.

Meningitis B can progress rapidly and early symptoms can often resemble flu-like illness.

Symptoms may include:
• Fever
• Severe headache
• Neck stiffness
• Sensitivity to light
• Vomiting
• Drowsiness or confusion
• A rash that does not fade under pressure

Young people, students and those living in shared accommodation can be at increased risk.

If you would like advice regarding MenB vaccination availability, suitability or booking an appointment, please contact the pharmacy team directly on 0131 331 4347 or book via setmore

Stay vigilant. Early recognition and treatment are vital. 💙

⚠️ Important Health Update: Cryptosporidium Cases Linked to Farm Lamb Feeding Visits ⚠️

There has been an increase in cases of cryptosporidium infection linked to recent lamb feeding events in the local area. Symptoms can appear a few days after visiting farms and may include:

• Diarrhoea
• Stomach cramps
• Vomiting
• Fever

If you or your child have these symptoms after visiting a farm or having contact with lambs/calves, please stay home and avoid work, school or nursery until 48 hours after symptoms stop.

💧 It’s important to stay hydrated. We can arrange delivery of rehydration sachets and other support items if you’re unwell at home.

📞 Please call the pharmacy if you need advice, treatment support, or delivery.

🧼 Remember: wash hands well with warm soapy water after animal contact, as hand sanitiser is not effective against this infection.

Meningitis can spread more easily in settings such as universities where people live and socialise closely together. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect against certain types of meningitis.

Our pharmacy currently has the MenB vaccine available for those who wish to discuss protection. If you are a student, parent, or simply want advice about meningitis vaccines, our team can help.

Appointments and advice available in store – feel free to message us or speak to a member of the pharmacy team alternatively you can book via our setmore link at the top of the page.
