2 students at the Gosta Green site of the University of Central England
have been admitted to hospital with meningitis:

"Antibiotics have been given to the close contacts of both cases", said
Russell Rowley, UCE director of Student Services, "but vaccination is
not indicated because neither of the cases are due to the sort of
meningococcal bacteria for which there is a vaccine available.

"Despite investigations, no direct link has been established between the
2 cases. Therefore, it has been decided by the University, & Birmingham
Health Authority, not to offer antibiotic treatment to the remaining
students & staff who study & work in the Gosta Green building".

However, students at UCE *have* been given a leaflet giving more
information about meningitis, & told to report to the student services
medical room should they be in any further doubt.
