Twenty-one-year-old Annabelle Mackay has spoken to the BBC about her experience of surviving a meningitis infection.

The University of Kent law student believes she may have contracted it on 5 March at Club Chemistry, or possibly on an evening before this when she was out at a different venue.

So far, there have been 29 cases of meningitis linked to the outbreak, with a vaccination programme being rolled out for students.

"I feel so grateful to be alive and to be here. I'm still dealing with the aftereffects now, but I think I just need to focus on my recovery and getting better and back to myself," Mackay told the BBC.
