Announcement regarding Meningitis B‼️
We are aware of recent national reports of Meningitis B.
At this time, there is no impact on our local area, and we are waiting for further official guidance from the government.
It is useful to make yourselves aware of the signs and symptoms of the disease.
General symptoms of Meningitis B can include:
• Fever
• Severe headache
• Vomiting
• Stiff neck
• Sensitivity to light
• Drowsiness or confusion
• A rash that does not fade when pressed (this may not always appear)
Babies may show different signs, such as poor feeding, irritability, floppiness, cold hands/feet, or difficulty waking.
If you are feeling unwell and are worried about symptoms, please contact the practice or 111. For emergencies, please contact 999.
We are not able to administer the Men B vaccination in practice, outside of the Baby Immunisation schedule
