Parents of teen who died in 2025 call for more government support


Helen and Lee Draper lost their daughter Megan to meningitis in October 2025. She was a student at Bournemouth University.

Her parents later found out she wasn’t vaccinated against the strain she had – Meningitis B.

Megan’s father Lee says it is important for parents to be aware the meningitis vaccinations that their children have protect against all strains.

Helen, Megan’s mother, says she “absolutely implores the government to reconsider this”.
