Students are at increased risk of infectious diseases like meningitis and measles. These diseases spread easily in universities and colleges, as students mix closely with others from around the country and overseas.  The current term coming to an end is an opportunity to remind new and returning students about the free vaccinations they are eligible for. 

Public Health Scotland is urging students to check they are up to date with their vaccinations before starting university or college.
