MenB vaccination through general practice | Online Panel Discussion

Presented by Immunisation Coalition
24 June 2025 (4.30pm to 5.30pm AWST) online panel discussion

The objective of this panel discussion is to update primary healthcare professionals on the burden of meningococcal disease with a focus on Meningococcal B vaccination.

Learning outcomes include:

1. Recap the epidemiology and burden of disease in Australia of the different disease-causing meningococcal strains.
2. Summarise the NIP eligibility criteria for meningococcal disease, recommendations supporting vaccination outside of the NIP, and the current State and Territory funded programs.
3. Examine and analyse current funded programs on MenB, how these were successfully organised and coordinated to show an increase in MenB vaccination rates.
4. Review the learnings from MenB State and Territory funded programs and how other States could adopt a similar targeted approach.
5. Explore the use of key messages when discussing meningococcal disease and MenB vaccination with parents and patients (specifically adolescent and young adults) to help boost confidence in addressing questions, objections and concerns.
