🧠😷 The UK Meningitis Outbreak - Doctor Explains

The UK meningitis B outbreak explained by a doctor — what's actually happening, how contagious it is, and what to do if you've been exposed.

At the time of posting, 2 people have sadly died and several more are in hospital following an outbreak linked to Club Chemistry in Canterbury, Kent.

Meningitis B spreads through close prolonged contact — not as contagious as COVID or measles, but still serious.

If you've been in contact with a confirmed or suspected case, seek medical attention. Preventative antibiotics are highly effective.

University of Kent students are being offered vaccinations. This is a developing situation — follow the @NHS and @UKHSA for the latest.
