Meningitis can be very serious if not treated quickly. It can affect anyone, but is most common in babies, young children, teenagers and young adults.

Call 999 for an ambulance or go to your nearest A&E immediately if you think you or someone you look after could have meningitis or sepsis.

Swipe through to find out what to look out for and more on when to get help.

For more, search online for ‘nhs meningitis’.

We’re reminding students to make sure they are protected.

MMR and meningitis can spread easily. We’re advising those who missed out on vaccinations during childhood that both MMR and meningitis catch-up vaccines can be given at any age, with the immunisations available for free from all GP practices and community pharmacies.

Young adults are also encouraged to get protected against HPV.
