The vaccine is available at participating pharmacies across England and Wales for 17 and 18-year-olds, as well as under-25s entering higher education or residential college for the first time.
The campaign comes after an outbreak of a dangerous strain of meningitis in Kent which killed two students.
Bookings open Monday 13 July, with vaccinations beginning on Monday 20 August.
