*Update on MenB Outbreak in Kent (𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘱 𝘉)

" Public health teams in England are responding to an outbreak of group B meningococcal disease in Kent. This situation is local to that area, and there is currently no evidence of increased risk in Scotland.
People in Scotland can be reassured that there is no increased risk of MenB or other meningococcal disease here at present.

Therefore, no additional vaccination or catch-up campaigns are currently recommended locally.
Public Health Scotland continues to monitor the situation closely."

Although there is no identified risk in our area, this situation highlights the importance of knowing the symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia. These illnesses can develop very quickly, so early recognition is vital.

🩺 Symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia can include:
• Severe or worsening headache
• Sudden high fever
• Stiff neck
• Vomiting or diarrhoea
• Joint and muscle pain
• Dislike of bright lights
• Very cold hands and feet
• A rash that does not fade when pressed with a glass
• Seizures
• Confusion or delirium
• Extreme sleepiness or difficulty waking

If you or someone you know develops symptoms of meningitis or septicaemia, please seek urgent medical help by going to your nearest Emergency Department or calling 999.
