MariaPCC 14 October 2024

The NHS is urging students and parents of young children to get themselves and their loved ones protected against meningitis ahead of an expected surge in cases that typically follow the start of the academic year. Paralympian, Aaron Phipps MBE, who lost his limbs due to the potentially debilitating disease aged 15, is joining the NHS call and warning people not to think “it will never happen to you or your child”. Meningitis progresses rapidly and can lead to serious health complications such as brain damage, hearing or limb loss, or even death if not treated promptly.
