The Journal
|March 19, 2026
THE rollout of a meningitis B vaccine to about 5,000 students from a Canterbury campus has begun, the University of Kent has said.
-
In partnership with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the university is rolling out vaccines to protect students and is continuing to offer thousands of doses of antibiotics to students and staff.
It comes after two students died and 18 more cases were being investigated by the UKHSA after an outbreak of meningitis linked to a nightclub.
The university said in a statement the jab rollout was "part of our ongoing commitment to offer a swift response and reassurance to support Kent students at this difficult time".
