The strain from this outbreak has now been confirmed as meningitis B. This isn't in the current UK teenage vaccine schedule (perhaps that will now change...) theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…
Dear students in the UK, if you haven't had your teenage meningitis vaccine or aren't sure if you have had it, PLEASE arrange with your GP to get vaccinated nhs.uk/vaccinations/menacwy-… It helps prevent tragic deaths like those that have occured recently in Kent.

Vaccine hesitancy is a serious problem. Talking about vaccines in general terms, is an oversimplification. It is good to address concerns of citizens, but that should be evidence based. I am seeing the weirdest stories on this platform politico.com/news/2025/01/24…
