The UK is currently in the grip of its most serious meningitis outbreak in recent memory, with health authorities racing to contain a MenB cluster centred on Canterbury, Kent. To help students, clinicians, and the public stay informed, we have built a free interactive UK Meningitis Surveillance Dashboard
Powered by verified UKHSA data, the dashboard tracks the live Kent outbreak counter (20 confirmed + 9 probable cases, 2 deaths as of 22 March 2026), displays an interactive regional hotspot map across all UK nations, breaks down serogroup distribution, age-group risk profiles, vaccine coverage rates, and plots historical invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) trends from the 1999/2000 peak of 2,595 cases down to today — showing how vaccination has cut UK meningitis deaths by 86% since 1998. Whether you are a medical student revising infectious disease, a public health professional, or a worried parent, this dashboard gives you everything you need in one place.
