Update on meningitis cases in Kent

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is currently investigating an outbreak of invasive meningococcal disease in the Canterbury area of Kent. A number of patients have contacted the practice regarding this, and we would like to provide reassurance and share the latest public health advice.

At present, this outbreak is localised to Kent, and there is no evidence of wider community spread in London. The UKHSA is actively managing the situation and contacting those considered to be at higher risk directly.

All updates to the situation are being published here.

NHS App

The NHS App will be available to use as a vaccine passport from Monday 17 May for those who have received both doses of the coronavirus vaccine.

The NHS App is separate to the NHS COVID-19 app, which is used for contact tracing. The app is owned and run by the NHS and is available on iOS and Android to all patients registered with a GP surgery in England.

The NHS App can also be used to request repeat prescriptions, arrange appointments and view medical records.

A paper record of vaccination can also be requested by calling 119. This can only be requested at least five days after a second vaccine dose and can take five days to arrive.

Please do not contact the surgery for a record of your vaccination status.
