The Kent outbreak involves confirmed cases of Men B invasive meningococcal disease, and while the Men B vaccine is routinely offered at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 1 year of age, missed doses can be given only up to age 2.

Practices should not offer Men B vaccination routinely or on request to those over 2 years of age.

Meningitis can be very serious if not treated quickly.

The NHS website has all the information you need, including what to look out for and when to get medical help.
