TEENAGERS AND MENINGITIS

Early day motion 951, tabled 13 January 2016 by David Simpson (DUP). Signed by 17 members.

That this House notes that teenagers are the second most at-risk group, after babies and toddlers, for contracting meningitis; expresses concern at national statistics revealing that less than half of those eligible for a free new vaccine have received it; and appeals to the Government to energise the meningitis awareness campaign that could save hundreds of lives.
