⚠️ Health Notice: Meningitis Awareness & Vaccination Reminder

Following the recent meningitis outbreak in the UK, everyone is encouraged to stay informed and ensure their vaccinations are up to date.

Meningitis is a rare but serious infection that can progress rapidly and become life-threatening. Early symptoms can include:
• High fever
• Severe headache
• Stiff neck
• Vomiting
• Sensitivity to light
• Rash or confusion

If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.

💉 Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and others.
Vaccines such as the MenACWY vaccine help protect against several strains of meningococcal bacteria and are offered to teenagers and young adults in the UK. (aged 14 to 25)

Young people, especially students living or studying in close-contact environments, are at higher risk, so checking vaccination status is particularly important.

Please help protect our communities by:
✔ Checking your vaccination status
✔ Encouraging family members and students to be vaccinated
✔ Being aware of symptoms and seeking medical help early

Please contact us to check your vaccination status and if eligible, book an appointment to get vaccinated. Let’s work together to keep our communities safe.

Have you heard of a lasting power of attorney?

You may think your partner or close family members can make decisions for you if you’re not able to – but this is not the case. If they had to pay your bills or make a choice about your care, they would need legal authority to do so.

A lasting power of attorney lets people you trust quickly and easily step in when you need it most.

Start a conversation with the people you trust. Find out more: https://powerofattorney.campaign.gov.uk/utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Toolkit+social&utm_campaign=YVYD
