Protection
Protection against meningococcal ACWY disease, a serious bacterial infection that can develop rapidly and become life-threatening.
Meningitis ACWY is a serious bacterial infection that affects the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, and can also cause severe bloodstream infections. It can progress rapidly and become life-threatening if not treated urgently.
It spreads through close contact such as coughing, sneezing, kissing, or sharing personal items with an infected person or carrier.
Symptoms may include high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, nausea, sensitivity to light, and a distinctive rash in some cases.
Risk is higher in parts of Africa and during mass gatherings such as Hajj and Umrah, where close contact increases transmission.
Vaccination is the most effective protection, especially for travellers to high-risk regions and those attending crowded religious or international events.
One injection provides protection
May be needed after 5 years for ongoing risk
