Meningitis vaccines

Both Student Health and Lincoln University support this and encourage students to get their vaccine before moving into their accommodation. Find out more.
Please contact your GP or student Health for more information.
Even if you’re not sure whether they are the right people to talk to, get in touch. They work collaboratively with all of the University’s support services, so they’ll be able to point you in the right direction.
