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.

Polio Booster Campaign

Children aged 1 to 9 years old in London are being offered a dose of polio vaccine. For some children this may be an extra dose on top of their routine vaccinations. In other children it may bring them up to date with their routine vaccinations.

Text messages have been sent to parents of 1 to 9 year olds inviting them to book a vaccination appointment for their child or children.

Parents with children aged between 5 and 9 years old can book an appointment at a dedicated vaccination clinic.

Please visit www.southwestlondon.icb.nhs.uk/find-nhs-services/vaccinations/polio/polio-vax-booking/ for a list of participating vaccination sites in South West London.
