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. The girl was a student at Bournemouth University.
His family later learned that he had not been vaccinated against the type of Meningitis B he had.
Megan’s father, Lee, says it’s important for parents to know about meningitis vaccines, which protect their children against all types.
Megan’s mother, Helen, says she is “absolutely begging the government to rethink this”.
