Default Meningitis W

'Teenagers in England are to be offered a vaccine against a deadly strain of meningitis, after a sharp rise in cases.
Just 22 people contracted Meningitis W in 2009, but that number rose to 117 last year - an increase of over 400 per cent.
Now there are plans to roll out an immunisation programme in a bid to stop the disease spreading.'

Terrifying article, the sudden death of 117 teens, in 1yr?
