Understanding Meningitis B

Meningitis B is a bacterial infection that can develop quickly and, in some cases, become life-threatening. It can affect people of all ages and may lead to meningitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal cord lining) or septicaemia (blood poisoning).

Early symptoms can feel similar to flu, such as a high temperature, headache or generally feeling unwell, but the illness can progress rapidly. Because of this, many people choose vaccination as a way to reduce their risk.

If you ever suspect meningitis, it’s important to seek urgent medical attention. More information about the symptoms of Meningitis can be found on the NHS website by clicking here.
