Proceeding contribution from Vikki Slade (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 15 September 2026. It occurred during Backbench debate on Sepsis Awareness Month.
Sepsis Awareness Month
I am really grateful to the shadow Minister for raising this issue, which I also raised earlier in the debate. My son George and his girlfriend Maisie both had their two doses in the past few weeks as they turned 18, but my constituent Victoria asked me to write to the Minister a few months ago about education and awareness. I was really disappointed that the Department for Education did not think it was necessary to add meningitis awareness into the personal, social, health and economic education programme in secondary school. Will the shadow Minister support me in advocating for that?
