Important information regarding the Men B Vaccine:

The meningitis B vaccine was brought into routine childhood vaccines from 1st September 2015 onwards. For children born prior to this date they will not have received meningitis B as part of their schedule. There are no current changes to the vaccine schedule advised by public health. If and when that changes, eligible patients will be contacted.

Prophylactic antibiotics are currently being offered to:

Students at Canterbury campus,
All staff who live in the affected halls of residence,
Anyone who attended Club Chemistry on 5th, 6th and 7th March
Those who have been in close contact of any of the above people.

Please contact UKHSA immediately on the number below, or let us know, if you feel you are a close contact and have not been treated.

If you are a close contact please be alert to symptoms of meningococcal disease and septicaemia (including fever, headache, rash, vomiting, limb pain, cold hands/feet, drowsiness or rapid deterioration) and call 999 or attend A&E immediately.

We are unable to provide vaccination for meningitis B at this time to those not due this as part of their immunisation schedule.

If you have further questions call the UKHSA (UK Health Security Agency) on 03442252861 and select option 5 (option dedicated to meningitis queries).

If you have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or psychosis, you can get a free health check once a year from your GP.

This check is different from other health checks or appointments you may already have.

Your GP should invite you. If they haven’t, you can contact your GP and ask for the check.

It’s your chance to talk about your health and how you’re feeling, ask questions, and get support.
