Researchers are working with schools around the county to find 24,000 volunteers aged 16 to 18 years to take part in the Be on the TEAM (Teenagers Against Meningitis) trial, led by the Oxford Vaccine Group at the Oxford University's Paediatrics Department with funding and support from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).

Amy Davis (pictured with fiancé Matt Jenkins), who was 18 when she fell ill with meningococcal B septicaemia in 2011. Amy received urgent medical treatment which saved her life. During a long recovery period it was clear that septicaemia had affected Amy’s arms and legs and she later had to have her left leg amputated below the knee. Amy has welcomed a University of Oxford study, supported by the NHS, to see whether giving a group B meningococcal (MenB) vaccine to teenagers could help protect all ages from the potentially fatal infection.
