Meningitis Outbreak

We know many of you may have seen the recent news outbreak regarding the Meningitis outbreak in Kent. UKHSA has confirmed that, outside of the specific outbreak area, there is no increased risk at this time. That means that there's no need for extra measures beyond the usual good hygiene and keeping vaccinations up to date.

A quick reminder about routine vaccinations: Keeping children and young people up to date with their vaccines is one of the best ways to protect them. This includes MenACWY vaccine, which helps protect against several types of meningococcal disease.

Some cases in the Kent outbreak have been identified as MenB. The MenB vaccine is part of the routine schedule for babies at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and1 year. Current guidance does not recommend MenB vaccinations after 2.

For more information regarding this and your vaccination history, please visit our website.
