NOTE: Recently meningococcal vaccine has been approved for usage in infants as young as 9 months. However there are more to protect even younger infants on the horizon. One of the most deadly of these diseases is meningococcal meningitis. We are at a critical time in fighting this disease. Infants account for about 35% of the 2,500 + cases of meningococcal disease in the US each year. As many as 17% of these will result in amputations, blindness, deafness, organ failure, severe brain damage and more.
As part of our infant meningococcal educational program, we have developed this web site http://www.protectinfantsnow.org. Please visit and educate yourself on this deadly disease.
* Please make sure to get your middle and high school students and ALL who are attending college for the first time vaccinated.
* Make sure your infants are vaccinated against deadly pneumococcal and HIB meningitis before you take them to day care.
* Please note ACIP recommendations are not mandates. Mandates/laws are made state by state. Recommendations just give access and choice to all children instead of a privileged few.
