⚠️ Meningitis B Outbreak in Kent, England: What Parents & Families in Cayman Need to Know Before Travelling

Kent, England is currently experiencing a meningitis B outbreak, with 29 confirmed cases and sadly 2 deaths as of 19 March 2026 (Source: UK Health Security Agency). The outbreak is centred around Canterbury and has primarily affected university and sixth-form students.

If your children are travelling to Kent, studying elsewhere in the UK, or you have upcoming trips planned - which we know many families are doing with the Easter holidays approaching, this information is especially important.

I understand how worrying this can feel, and my goal is to provide clear, practical guidance to help keep your family safe and supported.
