The UK Heath Security Agency (UKHSA) is issuing daily updates on the Meningitis B (MenB) outbreak.

The overall risk of MenB to people outside the Kent area remains low.

Antibiotics are only recommended for people who have been in close contact with someone who has MenB.

If you have symptoms of meningitis, get medical help straight away. If someone goes to bed unwell, check on them regularly.
