Meningitis – Information from our local immunisation team

Recently you might have heard about cases of meningitis in the media. While the recent outbreak is not in our area, it’s helpful to be aware of the signs and symptoms of meningitis and to have up-to-date information from reliable sources. 

Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord (meninges).

Our local immunisation team have asked us to share that they do not offer Meningitis B vaccinations. Families will need to access their GP for any further support regarding this.
