Meningitis outbreak: Cases rise to 34

The number of meningitis cases in the UK outbreak has risen to 34, the UK Health Security Agency has said.

This includes a 21-year-old student at the University of Kent and a sixth form pupil at Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Faversham, who both died from the virus in Kent last weekend.

The demand among university students for meningitis vaccines has been so high that some were turned away on Friday and queues were forming again on Saturday.
