🚨 Meningitis and septicaemia: know the signs & check your protection 🚨

Meningitis and septicaemia are serious conditions that can become life-threatening very quickly. Early symptoms can feel like flu but may rapidly worsen.

⚠️ Symptoms to look out for include:
• Fever, vomiting, headache
• Cold hands and feet, limb pain
• Stiff neck and sensitivity to light
• Confusion, drowsiness, or difficulty waking
• Pale, blotchy skin
• A rash that does not fade under pressure

❗ Do not wait for a rash to appear.

If you are concerned about yourself or someone else, especially if symptoms are getting worse, seek urgent medical advice via NHS 111 or call 999 in an emergency.
