We are deeply saddened to hear the tragic news emerging from Kent regarding meningitis.

While meningitis infections are rare, they can be devastating. Our thoughts are with those affected and their families.

It’s important to remember that this outbreak is currently localised to the Canterbury area.
People across the North East should not panic, but staying informed is always the best approach.

In 2024, over 2,900 measles cases were confirmed in England, the highest levels seen in decades. As a result, the UK recently lost its World Health Organization measles elimination status.

Childhood vaccination rates remain below the 95% level recommended to help prevent outbreaks.

The good news is that measles is preventable with the MMR vaccine.

Cases of measles have been rising in some areas of the UK.

Measles can spread quickly, but it’s preventable with the MMR vaccine. If your child has missed a dose, it’s never too late to catch up.

Speak to your GP practice or visit us if you’d like guidance on what to do next.
