What is Meningitis ACWY?
Meningococcal meningitis is an acute bacterial illness that can spread throughout the body. Meningitis has thirteen separate serogroups, with types B and C being the most prevalent in the UK.
Individuals should consider getting vaccinated if they are travelling to a country where meningococcal meningitis is present and will be staying for an extended period of time, or if they are involved in activities that may increase their risk of exposure to the disease, such as working in a healthcare setting and living closely with the local population.
