The Public Health Agency (PHA) is visiting Ulster University to give students the option to catch up on any childhood or teen vaccines they may have missed.
Led by the PHA NI Programme Manager for childhood vaccines, the aim is to highlight the importance of these vaccines in protecting long-term health.
Available Vaccines
- HPV vaccine, which helps prevent cancers including cervical cancer
- MenACWY vaccine, which protects against meningitis
- School leaver booster, for anyone who missed it in school
Registered nurses from the local health trust will be on each campus to administer the vaccines, with access to Northern Ireland’s child health records to help confirm whether students have already received them.
The visits provide an opportunity for students to make informed decisions about their health and ensure they are up-to-date with important vaccinations.
Reception Points
- Coleraine, Tuesday 1 October - The Bridge
- Derry~Londonderry, Wednesday 2 October - MU Foyer
- Belfast, Friday 4 October: BC Foyer
Students will be taken to a private room to receive their vaccines after checking in at the reception points.
