Meningitis Updates and Patient Information

“You may have read recent reports about an outbreak of meningitis in Kent. You can find the latest advice about the signs and symptoms to look out for, what to do if you suspect meningitis and information about vaccination on this UKHSA article.

 

You may be able to see any recent vaccinations you have received on the NHS App or your online GP record. You can also check your child’s Red Book.”

·        The current outbreak in Kent has been linked to the MenB strain of meningitis.

·        Preventative antibiotics and vaccination are only being offered to those who went to Club Chemistry in Canterbury, Kent on 5, 6 or 7 March and to people who are close contacts of those who are confirmed or suspected to have meningitis. 

·        The risk to the wider public remains low.

·        Vaccination is only available to the wider public as per the standard NHS vaccination schedule:

–        The MenB vaccine was added to the NHS immunisation schedule for infants in 2015.

–        Anyone born before 1 May 2015, you will not have received the MenB vaccine as part of the NHS schedule.

–        The MenACWY vaccine, which is routinely offered to teenagers in school Years 9 and 10, provides good protection against several strains of meningococcal disease. However, it does not protect against MenB

–        If you are not eligible for the MenB vaccine, you should still make sure you are up to date with the MMR and MenACWY vaccines, which help protect against other causes of meningitis.    

 

·        It is important for everyone – regardless of vaccination status – to be aware of the signs and symptoms and act quickly if they appear. Symptoms to look out for include: 

–         a rash that does not fade when pressed with a glass 

–         sudden onset of high fever 

–         severe and worsening headache 

–         stiff neck 

–         vomiting and diarrhoea 

–         joint and muscle pain 

–         dislike of bright lights 

–         very cold hands and feet 

–         seizures 

–         confusion or delirium 

–         extreme sleepiness or difficulty waking 

 

·        If you or someone you know develops these symptoms, seek medical help urgently by going to your nearest A&E or calling 999. If a friend goes to bed unwell, check on them regularly. Early treatment can be lifesaving. 

·        You can also contact your GP or call NHS 111 if you are concerned, but do not wait – call 999 in an emergency.
