What is Meningitis ACWY?
One vaccine, four meningococcal groups
Group A
Common in sub-Saharan Africa's "meningitis belt" — a key risk for travellers to the region.
Group C
Once common in the UK and now vaccine-preventable, included for broad protection.
Group W
Linked to Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages and large gatherings, which is why proof of vaccination is required.
Group Y
Increasingly seen in Europe and North America, so cover is useful for many travellers.
It Can Move Fast
Warning signs include a severe headache, high fever, a stiff neck, dislike of bright light and a rash that does not fade under a glass. Meningococcal bacteria spread through close respiratory contact, and the illness can become life-threatening quickly — seek emergency help if you suspect meningitis.
