Meningitis B – Information

Meningitis B

We are conscious of national reports of Meningitis B.

At this time, we are not aware of any impact on our local area, and we are waiting for further official guidance and updates from the government.

It is useful to make yourselves aware of the signs and symptoms of the disease. We have shared some very useful videos from Wilmslow Health Centre to our story on FB.

General symptoms of Meningitis B can include:

• Fever

• Severe headache

• Vomiting

• Stiff neck

• Sensitivity to light

• Drowsiness or confusion

• A rash that does not fade when pressed (this may not always appear)

Babies may show different signs, such as poor feeding, irritability, floppiness, cold hands/feet, or difficulty waking.

If you are feeling unwell and are worried about symptoms, please contact the practice or 111. For emergencies please contact 999.

We are not able to administer the Men B vaccination in practice, outside of the Baby Immunisation schedule.

Men B was only introduced as part of the Baby immunisation programme in 2015 so anyone who was born before this is unlikely to have had the vaccine, unless they paid for it privately.
