MenB vaccine ordering guidance published

NHS England has published guidance on its Futures website for pharmacy owners regarding the allocation and ordering of the vaccine to be used in the Meningococcal B (MenB) Vaccination Service.

The guidance explains how vaccine will be allocated, ordered and delivered to pharmacies and includes the steps that must be taken before vaccine orders can be placed.

Pharmacy owners signed up to provide the service are advised to read the guidance as soon as possible to ensure they can order and receive their first allocation of vaccines.

In summary, pharmacy owners who wish to provide the service must: register for the service before 11.59pm on 20th July 2026; list a minimum of 100 appointments per month* via Manage your Appointments (MYA) to ensure these are made available to patients to book on the National Booking Service (NBS); register and complete their site acknowledgement page on the Federated Data Platform (FDP).
