We understand that the recent news reports about the meningitis outbreak in Kent may be concerning for parents and young people.

Advise from UKHSA is that there is no baseline increased risk outside of the specific outbreak in Kent at this time and currently there is no need for any additional actions beyond routine good practice.

GP practices are required to provide MenACWY vaccination to those aged 14 years up to their 25th birthday. If you fall into this age group and have either missed vaccinations via the School Aged Immunisation programme, or you are attending University for the first time then please contact us via the normal online route. Eligible patients must be under 25 years at the time of vaccination.

The School Aged Immunisation Team will continue to offer any outstanding MenACWY doses up until the end of Year 11.

Some of the cases in this specific outbreak have been identified as MenB.

MenB vaccine is offered at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 1 year of age. Current UK imms guidance does not advise giving MenB vaccine after 2 years of age.
