We are aware of the recent MenB outbreak & understand you may be concerned.

At present, UK guidance confirms no national recommendation to offer the MenB vaccine outside the routine NHS schedule. See Government website for up to date information.

Meningitis is spread through prolonged, close contact & it’s important to be aware of the symptoms, which may include fever, headache, neck stiffness, sensitivity to light, & in some cases a rash.

If you are concerned, please seek urgent medical advice.

Get urgent medical attention (call 111 or go to A&E) if:
• Symptoms appear suddenly and worsen
• Someone is hard to wake, confused, or very unwell
• You suspect meningitis or sepsis at all

Children under 6 are now being offered the MMRV vaccine instead of MMR as part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme.
This replaces the existing MMR vaccine and adds protection against chickenpox, alongside measles, mumps and rubella.
You don’t need to do anything — your GP will contact you when your child is due.
