A Kent student who contracted meningitis is urging others starting university to get vaccinated.

With many young people set to mix together for the first time, charity Meningitis Now is worried the disease could easily be passed on - or overlooked as mild symptoms of coronavirus.

Lucy Watts from Allington is going into her third year of pyschology at Canterbury Chirst Church.
