Get protected: MMR and additional vaccinations available on campus

06 Feb 2026

Measles cases are rising nationally, and universities are among the places where infections can spread quickly. To help protect our community, the NHS will again be offering walk-in vaccination clinics on campus this February and March.

Measles

These sessions are open to all staff and students, as well as the wider public. No appointment is needed. 

Why getting vaccinated matters 

Measles spreads very easily - even brief contact, such as 15 minutes in the same room as someone who is infectious, is enough to pass it on. You can spread measles from around four days before the rash appears to four days after. 

Many adults are protected, but some may have missed one or both doses of the MMR vaccine. If you are unsure about your vaccination history, NHS staff can check for you at the clinic. 

Vaccinations given at these clinics will be added to your NHS record within 24 hours. 

Where and when 

Location: Occupational Health Service - 4th Floor, Crawford House, Booth Street East, Manchester, M13 9QS 

Dates: 

  • Tuesday 10 February - 11am to 5pm 
  • Tuesday 10 March - 11am to 5pm 

Simply drop in at any time during the session. 

Vaccinations available 

At the popup clinics, NHS colleagues can offer: 

MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine 

Two doses are needed for full protection. If you haven’t had both, or aren’t sure, you’re encouraged to attend. 

HPV vaccine 

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is very common and often harmless, but some strains can cause cancers or genital warts. The NHS team can check if you’re eligible. 

MenACWY vaccine 

Protects against serious illnesses such as meningitis and sepsis. This vaccine is routinely offered to teenagers, but can be given up to age 25 if previously missed. 

New to Manchester? 

If you’ve recently moved to the city, NHS staff can also help you check your vaccination history and provide information on registering with a local GP.
