The National Meningitis Association (NMA) is a nonprofit organization founded by parents whose children have died or live with permanent disabilities from meningococcal disease. http://www.nmaus.org/
Our mission is to educate families, medical professionals and others about meningococcal disease and its prevention.
Learn about the two vaccines that can help prevent meningitis…
· The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends meningococcal vaccination against serogroups A, C, W and Y for all children at 11-12 with a booster at age 16.
· CDC recommends permissive use of meningococcal vaccination against serogroup B at ages 16-23, with a preferred age of 16 to 18 years. Click here for more information.
