Post Student Death Causes Entire University To Be Vaccinated

More than four thousand students on a university campus are being vaccinated against meningitis after one student died and two others were taken to hospital.

John Igboanugo, a first year physics student at the University of Surrey, died last month following a trip to Italy.

A three-day Meningococcal B vaccination programme is now underway on campus to protect other students, as Chris Maughan reports.

After considering the medical evidence, we have decided to offer vaccination to around 4,200 students living in halls of residence at the university to reduce risk of further cases next term.

I would like to reassure other students, teachers, their families and the local community that the risk of catching this infection remains very low, and any higher risk is confined to those being offered the vaccine.
