⚠ Advice for parents: vaccinations and meningitis awareness

As cases of meningitis continue to be reported in the news, NHS Greater Manchester is asking parents and carers to check that their child’s vaccinations are up to date and to be aware of the signs and symptoms.

Meningitis is a serious illness that can make people very sick very quickly, but vaccines can help protect against it.

In the UK, babies and young children are offered vaccines to help protect them from meningitis. The MenB vaccine was introduced in 2015 and is given to babies under the age of two. If you think your child has missed their vaccination, please contact their GP practice.

Teenagers are offered a different vaccine called MenACWY. This is given in Year 9 at school (age 13 to 14). It protects against four other types of meningitis (A, C, W and Y). This programme was also introduced in 2015.

Please check your child’s red book or contact your GP if you are not sure if they have had all their vaccines. You can also check on the NHS App if you are registered. 📕

If you think your child has missed their vaccination MenB vaccination, please contact their GP practice.

If you think your child has missed their MenACWY vaccination and they are still at school, they can contact IntraHealth for a catch up

Telephone: 03333 583 397 Option 1
Email: contactimms@intrahealth.co.uk
Recent cases in Kent involve the MenB type of meningitis. Most teenagers have not had this vaccine, so it is important to know the signs and symptoms.

Meningitis can start like the flu. Early signs can include:

a high temperature
a headache
being sick
bright lights hurting the eyes
a stiff neck
feeling very sleepy
a rash that does not fade when you press it
If you are worried your child may have meningitis, get medical help straight away. Use NHS 111 or call 999 in an emergency.

Making sure your child has their vaccines helps protect them and others around them.

📢 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗦𝗩 𝗩𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲

Following a new alert from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), we are pleased to announce that the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccination programme is expanding. This vital protection will now include all adults aged 80 and over, as well as residents in care homes for older adults.

RSV is a common cause of respiratory infections. While it can feel like a standard cold for many, it can lead to severe complications such as pneumonia in older adults. By expanding this eligibility, health officials aim to significantly reduce hospital admissions and protect our most vulnerable community members.

🏥 What happens next?
We are currently in the preparation phase, working closely with health providers to ensure a smooth rollout of the vaccine.

✅ Please wait to be contacted. We will be reaching out directly to all eligible patients to schedule your vaccination appointments. You do not need to call the surgery at this time.

💙 Helping our community stay healthy and out of hospital is our top priority. Thank you for your continued support.
