Protecting yourself from meningitis
|
- Check your vaccinations are up to date - contact your doctor if you’re unsure
- Know the symptoms
- Act quickly if symptoms appear by phoning 999
|
As at any time, if you feel unwell make sure you let someone know and, if a friend is unwell, check on them regularly.
