Whether you’re a spring cleaner or not, this is the perfect time to think about where you store your cleaning products. Small children are curious and want to learn more by putting things in their mouths. So, if they can reach it, they’re at risk of accidental poisoning.

Meningitis B.
The risk of infection to the wider population remains low. This is because transmission of MenB requires close and prolonged contact to spread. Examples of this include living in the same household and intimate contact such as kissing or sharing drinks or vapes. The bacteria are not as contagious as other infections such as measles and COVID-19.

Meningitis B vaccination is being offered to those at highest risk from the current outbreak
in Kent.

Check to find out if that includes you.
