What Are the Symptoms of Meningitis B?
Meningitis B can start off with small, early showing symptoms and grow into a life-threatening emergency within as little as a few hours. Knowing what to look out for could potentially save your life, or the lives of those around you.
Look out for:
- High fever with cold hands and feet
- Severe headache and stiff neck
- Sensitivity to light
- Vomiting and drowsiness
- A red or purple rash that does not fade when a glass is pressed against it
If you or someone you know shows these symptoms, call 999 or go to A&E immediately. Do not wait for a rash to appear.
Even when treated quickly, Meningitis B can cause lasting complications including hearing loss, brain damage, and limb amputation. Vaccination is the most effective protection against these nasty symptoms and side effects.
Should I get a Meningitis B vaccine?
The MenB vaccine is recommended for:
- Babies and young children: You should be covered by the NHS to have these vaccines.
- Children aged 11+ and university students: Those moving into shared accommodation, like housing and dorms, will face a higher risk of contracting this infection.
- Adults: Those without prior vaccination or with underlying health conditions are at greater risk when exposed.
- People with weakened immune systems: Including those without a functioning spleen may be affected.
- Close contacts of a confirmed MenB case. You may need to isolate to keep those around you safe, even if you display no symptoms, you might still be a carrier.
Not sure if you or your child needs the vaccine? Our pharmacists will review your vaccination history and advise on the right course for you.
