Private Meningitis B Vaccination in Westminster | Star Pharmacy & Clinics
Comprehensive protection with both Bexsero® and Trumenba® vaccines.
Meningitis B (MenB) is a rapid and life-threatening bacterial infection. While the NHS provides protection for infants, many older children, students, and adults are left without cover.
At Star Pharmacy & Clinics, we bridge this gap by offering a choice of both licensed Meningitis B vaccines: Bexsero® and Trumenba®. Located in the heart of Westminster on Strutton Ground, we provide a safe, clinical environment for your family's immunisations.
Bexsero vs. Trumenba: Which is Right for You?

The "Student Gap": Why Your MenACWY Jab Isn't Enough
If you or your child are heading to University, you likely received the NHS MenACWY vaccine. Crucially, this does not protect against the B strain.
- Meningitis B is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in UK universities.
- Living in halls of residence increases the risk of transmission.
- Star Pharmacy & Clinics recommends a course of MenB (Bexsero or Trumenba) to ensure full protection before term starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many doses do I need?
For most teenagers and adults, a full course of either Bexsero or Trumenba requires two doses. Our clinicians will provide you with a personalized vaccination schedule during your first appointment.
Can I swap between Bexsero and Trumenba?
No. To ensure maximum efficacy, you must complete the course with the same vaccine brand you started with.
Are there side effects?
Common side effects include a sore arm at the injection site, headache, or a mild fever. These are normal signs that your immune system is responding and usually fade within 48 hours.
