MenB and paracetamol: protocol for healthcare professionals

There is an increased risk of fever when the MenB vaccine is given alongside other immunisations at 2 and 4 months of age. PHE has produced a protocol on the prophylactic use of paracetamol in this situation (supports provision of a GSL medicine, for which a PGD is not required).

Further resources, which were published back in July 2015, include:

• Paracetamol patient informant leaflet
• Information about the MenB vaccine and paracetamol use (A5 flyer)
