🆕 Latest on the meningitis outbreak in Kent: We have worked with academic experts from across the UK to produce a technical briefing. This includes early evidence and preliminary analyses which offers strong reassurance our existing vaccinations and antibiotic treatment offer will be effective against this strain of MenB.

24/03/2026

As a significant number of people have now been vaccinated against MenB, clinics at the University of Kent and Vicarage Lane will not be open after today.

If you are eligible and still need to get vaccinated, you can contact The Gate Clinic in Canterbury to book an appointment from tomorrow.

💙 Thank you to everyone coming forward for meningitis B vaccinations and antibiotics. Please be patient as we work through the large number of people at the clinics we are running in the east Kent area.

There are several clinics operating today and across the weekend.

Please be reassured that if you need the vaccine, there will be an opportunity for you to receive it. The first priority is the antibiotic.

The defined cohort list from the UK Health Security Agency is:

• everyone who has been offered preventative antibiotic treatment as part of this outbreak.
• sixth form students (years 12 and 13) in schools and colleges in Kent where confirmed or probable cases are identified. If you are in this part of the cohort, you will be notified.

⚠️ Please only attend a clinic if you are included in this cohort.

You can find the list of clinics on our website: https://www.kmhealthandcare.uk/meningitis-antibiotic-and-vaccine-clinics
