Study into student meningococcal vaccine uptake - can you help?

Kelly Archer | 13th October 2019

The University of Nottingham and University of Leicester in collaboration are currently conducting a study of meningococcal vaccination (MenACWY) coverage amongst university students across the UK

University study into meningococcal meningitis vaccination uptake amongst students

This is a call out for all UK universities to participate in this study. 

We would like to know the number of students that received meningococcal immunisation upon registration at your institution in the last few years and / or for incoming students in 2019.

For more information and to participate in this study, please contact Dr Africa Couto, Impact Development Coordinator of the School of Life Sciences at the University of Nottingham, by emailing africa.couto@nottingham.ac.uk

(Principal Investigators: Dr David Turner, Dr Neil Oldfield and Dr Christopher Bayliss)
