What is meningitis, and why is it important to protect yourself?
Meningitis can be very dangerous and even life-threatening. The symptoms may resemble common illness such as fever, aching muscles and headache. But if you feel extra tired, have a stiff neck or a rash, you must contact a doctor quickly! Early treatment can save lives.
Symptoms of meningitis include:
✔️ Fever with chills ✔️ Aching muscles ✔️ Stiff neck ✔️ Headache
✔️ Rash with red dots ✔️ Nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea
✔️ Sensitivity to bright light
Remember, even if you are vaccinated, it does not always protect against all types of meningitis. So it is important to be aware of the symptoms and seek help early if you feel unwell.
How can you protect yourself?
There are two types of meningitis vaccines:
- Combination vaccine against meningococcal group A, C, W and Y (Menveo or Nimenrix).
- Vaccine against meningococcal serogroup B (Bexsero or Trumenba).
The ACWY vaccine is especially recommended for young people to provide broad coverage against the most common bacteria that cause meningitis. Vaccination should be carried out in good time before the graduation celebrations begin.
