This is the last photo of Mike before a road accident left him needing 24-hour care.

A photo of this life-changing moment shared on social media by strangers was how his family found out. Mike’s accident and the private details of his story had been shared and commented on by hundreds of people within hours.

If you’re at the scene of an incident don’t take a photo to share online. Call for help instead.

Year 8 to Year 11 pupils who missed out on receiving the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in school can access community catch-up clinics on Monday 21st July 2025.

It is essential that both boys and girls receive the vaccine, as it offers protection against several types of cancer such as cervical cancer, head and neck cancer, cancers of the a**s and ge***al cancer.

The HPV vaccine is also very effective at preventing ge***al warts.

Details for the catch-up clinics are as follows:

🔹 9am-1pm, Barry Hospital, Colcot Road, Barry CF62 8YH

🔹 9am-1pm, Rumney Primary Care Centre, Barmouth Road, Cardiff CF3 3LG

These clinics are appointment-only, so please contact the School Immunisation Team on 02920 907661/664 to make an appointment for your child.
