Advice Re: Meningitis Outbreak

Please be re-assured that we are closely monitoring the NHS advice regarding the recent MENINGITIS OUTBREAK in Kent.

The Meningitis B vaccine was introduced in the UK in September 2015. Anyone born before then will not have recieved the vaccine.

At present there is no guidance regarding a catch up programme by the NHS if this should change all eligible patients will be contacted to attend for vaccination.
