ABUHB Director of Public Health, Professor Tracy Daszkiewicz, is urging parents and carers to make sure children and teenagers are protected against meningitis, following recent tragic cases in Kent đź’”
Meningitis can develop very quickly and can be life threatening. Vaccination is the best way to prevent it.
🛡️ Key meningitis protection includes:
• MenB for babies and young children
• Pneumococcal vaccine (can also prevent meningitis)
• MenACWY for Year 9 pupils and young people under 25 starting university

👉 Learn the symptoms and seek urgent help if concerned
“Vaccination saves lives,” says Professor Daszkiewicz- please take up your vaccinations.
