Meningococcal B Program
The Queensland MenB Vaccination Program provides free meningococcal B (menB) vaccines to eligible Queensland infants, children and adolescents. This program was implemented in full in March 2024.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children (less than 2 years of age) and people with specific medical risk factors for invasive meningococcal disease are currently eligible for free menB vaccine through the National Immunisation Program (NIP).
The Queensland MenB Vaccination Program makes menB vaccines available for eligible infants, children and adolescents in addition to NIP eligible groups.
For more information, please refer to the Queensland Health website,
Eligible Groups
The following Queenslanders who have not yet started or completed an age-appropriate course of menB vaccination will be eligible for the Queensland MenB Vaccination Program:
- Infants, 6 weeks to 12 months of age.
- Catch up vaccination will be offered for children aged over 12 months to less than 2 years.
- Adolescents aged 15 to 19 years (inclusive).
Once vaccination is commenced during the eligibility period, a person remains eligible for their second dose, regardless of age.
