Meningitis ACWY
Meningitis ACWY Vaccine | Townsend Pharmacy
Heading abroad for studies, travel, or pilgrimage? Make sure you are protected with the Meningitis ACWY vaccine from Townsend Pharmacy’s travel vaccination clinic. This serious bacterial infection spreads through coughing, sneezing, or close contact and can lead to brain damage or death if untreated.
We offer the Meningitis ACWY vaccine in Reigate, Redhill, Horley, Dorking, Tadworth, Banstead and Crawley, so you can stay safe wherever your journey takes you.
Why Get the Meningitis ACWY Vaccination?
Meningitis ACWY is a dangerous infection that affects the brain and spinal cord. It spreads quickly and can cause severe complications. Certain countries, especially in Africa and the Middle East, require this vaccine for entry, especially for Hajj or Umrah pilgrims.
At our travel vaccine clinic, we guide you on when to get the vaccine, how many doses you need, and the Meningitis ACWY vaccine cost.
Our experts will also explain who needs it and how long the protection lasts.

How Do Meningitis ACWY Vaccines Work?
The vaccine helps your immune system recognise and fight four types of meningococcal bacteria: A, C, W, and Y. It is given as a single injection and offers protection for several years.
It is also required for some international universities and religious journeys.

When Should I Visit a Meningitis ACWY Travel Vaccination Clinic?
