'Meningitis W took both my legs and half my fingers'

Charlotte was diagnosed with a dangerous strain of meningitis last year.

If you're going to university of college, the government wants you to get vaccinated.

Students are more at risk of contracting the disease because they live closely with lots of new people.

They're particularly concerned by meningitis W - an aggressive form of the disease.

It started with a "headache, a bit of a sore throat," says Charlotte.

Twenty-four hours later she was being rushed to hospital.

"I'd been put into an induced coma when they decided this was going to be something serious.

"At that point they didn't even know it was meningitis."

"If professionals in the intensive care unit couldn't spot that I had meningitis until 10 days after I actually picked it up, how hard is it going to be for just general people on the street".

Two months later Charlotte had to have both legs amputated from the knee down. She also lost all the fingers on her left hand.

Charlotte thinks students should get vaccination.

"If you were in intensive care and you were dying, would you want it?

"It's a no-brainer".
