🔔接種疫苗 提防侵入性 B 型腦膜炎雙球菌(MenB)
最近英國爆發侵入性 B 型腦膜炎雙球菌(MenB)群組感染,短短一星期內錄得 20 宗確診,包括兩名學生不幸離世,並有重症個案需要入住 ICU。事件發生喺學生聚集嘅肯特郡同倫敦一帶,當地政府已將事件列為全國緊急情況,而香港衞生署衞生防護中心亦與英國跟進中。由於當地亦係本港留學生嘅熱門留學地點,病毒傳播風險不容忽視!
🧠 咩係侵入性 B 型腦膜炎(MenB)?
MenB 屬於一種可快速惡化嘅細菌感染,會攻擊腦膜及脊髓保護層,青少年及生活環境密集嘅學生群組特別容易受感染。傳播途徑包括飛沫、喉嚨分泌物、密切接觸、共用飲品或物品。
⚠️ 出現以下症狀需立即求醫:
• 高燒
• 頸部僵硬
• 頭痛
• 畏光
• 皮膚出疹,按壓不褪色(可用「玻璃杯測試」)
💡 如何保護自己?
✔ 1. 接種 MenB 疫苗(最有效預防方法)
英國爆發感染其中一個重點,就係大部分青少年未有接種 MenB 疫苗,而現行嘅 ACWY 並唔能夠預防 MenB。
✔ 2. 注意衞生,避免高風險接觸
• 避免共用水杯、吸管等個人物品
• 保持良好個人衞生
• 如有不適立即求醫
✔ 3. 及早使用抗生素至關重要
一旦懷疑有感染嘅情況,醫生會立即使用抗生素處理;越早介入,治療越有效。
雖然MenB 可以喺短時間內迅速惡化,但其實係可以預防嘅!
只要保持警覺、留意症狀、避免高風險接觸,再配合接種 MenB 疫苗,就能大大降低感染風險。

🔔 Protect against Meningococcal Infection with timely vaccination
A recent cluster of Serogroup B Meningococcal Disease (MenB) cases has been reported in the UK, with 20 confirmed cases recorded within just one week, including the unfortunate deaths of two students and several severe cases requiring ICU care. The outbreak occurred mainly in student‑dense areas such as Kent and London, and local authorities have classified it as a national emergency. Hong Kong’s Centre for Health Protection is closely monitoring the situation with the UK. As the UK remains a popular study destination for Hong Kong students, the potential risk of transmission should not be overlooked.
🧠 What is Serogroup B Meningococcal Disease (MenB)?
MenB is a rapidly progressing bacterial infection that affects the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Teenagers and young adults living in crowded or high‑density social environments are at higher risk.
MenB is spread through respiratory droplets, throat secretions, close contact, and sharing drinks or personal items.
⚠️ Seek medical attention immediately if these symptoms appear:
• High fever
• Stiff neck
• Headache
• Sensitivity to light
• Skin rash that does not fade under pressure (you can use the Glass Test to check)
💡 How can you protect yourself?
✔ 1. Get the MenB Vaccine – the most effective protection
One key factor behind the recent UK outbreak is that many teenagers had not received the MenB vaccine. Please note that the commonly used ACWY vaccine does NOT protect against MenB.
✔ 2. Maintain good hygiene & avoid high‑risk contact
• Avoid sharing cups, straws, or personal items
• Practise good personal hygiene
• Seek medical care promptly if you feel unwell
✔ 3. Early use of antibiotics is crucial
When MenB infection is suspected, doctors will begin antibiotic treatment immediately. Early treatment significantly improves outcomes.
🏥 MenB candeteriorate rapidly, but it is preventable.
Stay alert, recognising symptoms early, avoiding high‑risk exposure, and getting the MenB vaccine can greatly reduce your risk.
, and now offer the MenB vaccine.
Children may require 2 to 4 doses, depending on age.
💉 MenB Vaccine: HK$3,800 (includes one-time doctor’s consultation and two doses of vaccine)
