Meningitis Outbreak in Southeast England Sparks Vaccine Rush

A meningitis outbreak in Kent, Southeast England, has resulted in at least two deaths and 34 reported cases, primarily affecting young people. According to Ming Pao, the situation has led to a surge in vaccine demand, with queues at Kent University's vaccination center stretching 1.6 kilometers and wait times reaching eight hours. Meanwhile, in Normandy, Northern France, a woman has died from the same invasive meningococcal disease. However, local health authorities have stated that there is currently no evidence linking the cases in the two regions.
