Levi Lawrence, 21, fell seriously ill after he caught meningitis during his first term at university. Public Health Wales has issued an appeal to students to check their vaccination status.
UCAS says students should ideally get up to date with their vaccines before they arrive at their universities.
This is a message echoed by the NHS which says new university students are at a higher risk of infection as they mix closely with lots of new people. The MenACWY vaccine protects against serious infections like meningitis and young people can ask a GP for a dose up until their 25th birthday. The NHS says students about to start at college or university should also have had two doses of the MMR vaccine as there can be outbreaks of measles and mumps at universities.
