Public Health Notice
A Meningitis B (MenB) outbreak is currently affecting young adults in and around Guildford — particularly college and university students and people living in high‑footfall shared housing. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and those around you.
The Meningitis B Outbreak Near Guildford
Cases of meningococcal B disease have been reported in the Guildford area, mostly affecting young adults. Meningitis B is a serious infection that causes inflammation of the protective membranes around the brain and spinal cord, and can also lead to blood poisoning (septicaemia). It can develop very quickly and become life‑threatening within hours.
The bacteria are spread through close contact — coughing, sneezing, kissing and sharing items such as cups, cutlery and toothbrushes. This is why people living and socialising in close quarters are most at risk.
Who is most at risk?
- Young adults aged roughly 16–25
- College and university students
- People moving into halls of residence or shared housing
- Anyone living in high‑footfall, close‑contact shared accommodation
- Those in frequent close social contact with large groups
