The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is investigating an outbreak of group B meningococcal disease (MenB). To support this investigation, UKHSA is inviting specific individuals to complete an online survey. The information provided will help public health experts understand the circumstances surrounding the outbreak and implement measures to prevent further cases. Meningococcal disease is a rare but serious bacterial infection that can lead to meningitis and septicaemia. The survey is part of a standard epidemiological response to localized increases in case numbers.
