We understand there’s currently a lot of interest in the Meningitis B vaccine.

There is no need to panic or rush for vaccination. For most people, this vaccine is given as a course of two doses, spaced at least one month apart.

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.

If you’re unsure whether your child is up to date, check with your GP

Last week, we had the opportunity to talk to The Northern Echo about home blood pressure monitors and why they can sometimes give different readings compared to those taken in a clinical setting.

The article highlighted that differences are common and can be caused by factors such as the “white coat effect”, incorrect technique, or using a monitor that isn’t clinically validated.

It also reinforced the importance of taking readings correctly and consistently to get an accurate picture of your blood pressure over time

If you have any concerns about your readings, pop in and speak to our team
