💨 Abstract

Three new meningitis B cases in Weymouth, Dorset, have led health officials to offer vaccines to young people in school years 7 to 13. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) confirmed that all three cases were in young individuals who are now recovering. Antibiotics and vaccines are being provided to prevent further spread. The cases were discovered between March 20 and April 15, with two students from Budmouth Academy and one from Wey Valley Academy affected.
