The MenB vaccine was introduced in 2015 to protect infants against infection. If your child is under the age of 2 and hasn't received the Men B vaccination we would advise they receive this. The Men B vaccination is given to babies at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 1 year only. The NHS guidance does not allow us to vaccinate anyone over the age of 2.
The MenACWY vaccination is routinely offered to teenagers, however, it protects against different strains of the Meningococcal bacteria than the MenB vaccine.
Vaccinations does not always completely prevent infection, however, it can significantly reduce the likelihood of developing symptoms or result in a milder course of illness.

Dear patients

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).

Many thanks

We are inviting carers to take part in a short survey to help shape a new information and support resource for:
• Carers who care for someone living with or beyond cancer
• Carers with cancer

The project is funded through the Cancer Related Health Inequalities Grant, coordinated by the Lincolnshire Voluntary Engagement Team (LVET).

We will create a practical resource to help carers access the information and support they need at the most appropriate time.
By completing the survey, carers can help us understand:
• What information and support carers currently receive
• What information has been most useful
• How information could be improved, including the content, format, timing, or how it is shared.

Responses will directly inform the development of the resource, ensuring it provides clear, practical and timely guidance for carers.

The survey also includes an option to be more involved in the project through case studies and feedback.
Complete the survey here:
https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/JDD50C/

All responses are anonymous and personal information is never included in our reports. Our privacy notice is available on our website.

If you support carers and their loved ones living with cancer or a cancer diagnosis, share this short survey with your networks so that together we can ensure that carers have the information and support when they need it.

Please take a few minutes to take our survey.
