We understand that many patients have been contacting us regarding the recent meningitis outbreak in Kent, particularly to ask about the Meningitis B vaccination.

In Wales, the MenB vaccine is routinely offered to babies at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and again at 12–13 months of age. Currently, there is no routine vaccination programme for children over the age of 2 or for adults outside of these age groups.

The MenB vaccine can be obtained privately for children over 2 years of age and for adults. However, individuals who are considered to be in an at-risk group may be eligible through the NHS, in which case vaccination would be arranged following advice from the patient’s consultant.

Further information is available on the Public Health Wales image below.

Thank you.

Did you know - you can borrow a blood pressure machine from your local Hub or Library?

One in three adults in the UK has high blood pressure - but many don’t realise it.

Did you know you can now borrow a blood pressure monitor from Cardiff hubs and libraries to help you keep track of your blood pressure? Borrow a device for 3 weeks, just like borrowing a book!

Whether you're thinking about quitting, trying to cut down, or supporting someone who is, today is the perfect day to take that first step. Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions you can make for your health, your loved ones, and your future.

💚 Benefits of quitting:
✔️ Improved lung health
✔️ Lower risk of heart disease and cancer

✔️ Better sense of taste and smell
✔️ Saving money

Remember - it’s never too late to quit, and you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out for support, speak to a healthcare professional, or explore local stop-smoking services.

Did you know that antibiotics don't work for all infections?

They’re only used to treat or prevent infections caused by bacteria. They don't work for viral infections, including colds and flu, and most coughs and sore throats.
Stop the spread of antibiotic resistance – only take them as prescribed by your doctor, pharmacist, nurse or dentist.
