A large-scale response to the current outbreak in Kent is underway, led by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and local NHS teams. Steps are being taken to offer additional protection and information and advice to people directly affected by the outbreak. The UKHSA has advised that while this outbreak is unusual, cases have all been linked to a particular geographical area, and there is currently no evidence of any increased risk or wider spread elsewhere. This means there is currently no need for any additional vaccination or catch-up campaigns to be put in place in Scotland.  
People in Scotland can be reassured that there is no increased risk of MenB or other meningococcal disease here at this time. Public Health Scotland will continue monitoring the situation closely and will issue any further information and advice as appropriate should the position change.
