💨 Abstract
The meningitis outbreak in Kent has reached 34 cases, with two deaths, including a University of Kent student and a local sixth-form pupil. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) expects more cases due to the incubation period. The outbreak is linked to a nightclub, Club Chemistry, with cases reported in London, France, and at various educational institutions. Health officials advise acting fast if symptoms appear and assure that the risk to the wider community remains low.
