KNOW THE FACTS

What is Meningitis ACWY?

One vaccine, four meningococcal groups

Students and young adults — a higher-risk group for meningitis

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.

KNOW THE SIGNS

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.
