All doctors in England have been told to watch out for meningitis symptoms after an outbreak in Kent, UK.
Two people have died - a 21-year-old university student and a sixth form pupil.
Cases have been confirmed at two universities - the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University - linked to an outbreak that is thought to have originated at a Canterbury nightclub.
The Meningitis B jab is now being offered to 5,000 University of Kent students as part of a targeted vaccine programme, where they are said to have "responded brilliantly" according to medical officers in the area.
The BBC’s health correspondent Nick Triggle, Paul Hunter, Professor of Medicine at the University of East Anglia and Dr Liz Whittaker from Imperial College London answer your questions on the outbreak.
