Meningococcal disease is spread by secretions in the back of the nose and throat. Examples could be coughing and sneezing in close proximity to someone and possibly kissing.

It is not thought that sharing drinks and food is a way of spreading the disease.

Good hygiene is one way to help keep you and your family safe.
Smoking may also increase the risk of contraction meningococcal disease.
