Two people have died and more than 10 others have been hospitalized with meningitis after the deadly infection broke out in the southeastern English town of Canterbury. Eleven people in the area were hospitalized after contracting virus. Most patients are University of Kent students between 18 and 21 years old. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said Monday it was arranging antibiotics for some students in the Canterbury area of Kent following several cases of invasive meningococcal disease, adding that the “specific strain has not been identified at the present time.” UK Health Minister Wes Streeting called the outbreak “unprecedented,” noting that the government will begin a “targeted vaccination programme” for students living in halls of residence at the institute in the “coming days.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/11733094/meningitis-outbreak-students-university-kent/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on TikTok HERE: https://www.tiktok.com/@globalnews.ca?lang=en #GlobalNews #UK #Meningitis
