Urgent: Meningitis update

If you are calling about the meningitis outbreak in Canterbury, Kent, please note that current advice from NHS England nationally means only a small number of people who have been directly contacted by their university, school or public health officials are eligible for vaccination. 

 

We are receiving a high number of enquiries about this, however if you have not been contacted directly, you do not need to contact us about this.

 

Please stay on the line to speak to reception only if you have been advised that you are eligible and have returned home locally.
