Meningitis: What do I need to know? | BBC News


Hundreds of students have been queueing at the University of Kent for antibiotics after two people died in a meningitis outbreak.

Tributes have been paid to one of the victims, Juliette, a Year 13 student at a grammar school in Faversham. A 21-year-old university student has also died.

Eleven other people are understood to be seriously ill and more than 30,000 people in the Canterbury area are being contacted by the UK Health Security Agency about the outbreak.
