đ¨ Abstract
A meningitis B outbreak in Kent has been linked to a student event at Club Chemistry in Canterbury. Two people, a University of Kent student and a sixth-form pupil, have died, and nearly a dozen have been hospitalized. Experts suggest that gaps in the meningitis B vaccine program, which is not routinely offered to teenagers and young adults, may be contributing to the outbreak. The bacteria can cause severe symptoms and is treatable with antibiotics if caught early.
