LONDON: The number of meningitis cases reported in a deadly outbreak linked to a nightclub in southeast England rose from 29 to 34, including 23 confirmed cases, UK health officials announced Saturday. Hundreds of students queued for meningitis B vaccines at the University of Kent — where several of the cases were reported — on Saturday morning, after some had to be turned away the previous day. In total, over 5,700 vaccines have been administered and over 11,000 antibiotics distributed in Kent, where the outbreak is centered, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said.

Health workers across England are urged to look out for signs of infection as thousands have jabs.
