Be prepared over the Easter holidays by keeping a well-stocked medicine cabinet at home🩹

Paracetamol, plasters, indigestion remedy, allergy relief and anti-diarrhoeal medicine are a good place to start!

Meningococcal (MenB) vaccination – information for students.
(Message from Lancashire and Cumbria Local Medical Committee)

NHS England has asked GP practices to provide the MenB vaccine to a small number of students linked to the meningococcal outbreak in Canterbury, Kent, if they have returned home.

Whilst we understand this may be a worrying time, it is clear that is it going to be unlikely for many of our local residents to need vaccination under the current criteria that has been set for GP practices nationally.

ONLY if you have been advised that you are eligible and are currently living locally, please contact reception and inform them that your request relates to the MenB vaccination that is linked to the Canterbury outbreak.

If you have been advised that you are eligible, it is likely you will have been contacted by your university, school, or public health officials because you:

- live in specific halls of residence in Canterbury
- attended certain venues in Canterbury between 5–16 March, or
- have been identified as a close contact of a confirmed case

If you have not been contacted directly, you DO NOT need to contact the practice about vaccination.

See comments for more information on the signs to look out for and a further information link.
