Cieran was just nine-months-old when he caught meningitis type B but the scars of his battle with the deadly infection remain today. He is now profoundly deaf, with very little speech, and also has epilepsy and cerebral palsy.
Many people are unaware that there is more than one type of meningitis and there is still no vaccine to prevent the type that Cieran had. Action Medical Research has funded a project to develop a new vaccine against meningitis B. Watch his story in this video and read more about the research.
