GP Registration & Student Vaccinations

Students living on campus or within the Brighton & Hove catchment area are eligible to register with the Health Centre at the University of Sussex which is conveniently located in the new Health and Wellbeing building on Refectory Road, directly opposite the Student Centre. If you are in a student-facing role, please can you encourage students to register.

This year, undergraduate students born after 21 July 2001 attending University for the first time can access both doses of the Meningitis B vaccine from the NHS. Students can book via the NHS website and receive it in the pharmacy on campus. The NHS also recommends all university aged students be up-to-date with the following vaccinations: measles, mumps and rubella, MenACWY, HPV, and Td/IPV. Some students with specific risk factors may also be eligible to receive the Flu shot and the COVID-19 vaccination.
