Meningococcal Meningitis Resources for Healthcare Professionals
Meningococcal Meningitis is a serious bacterial infection that can cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord lining, as well as a bloodstream infection that damages blood vessels and leads to bleeding in the skin and organs.
Watch for symptoms of Meningococcal Meningitis in children, including fever, stiff neck, headache, confusion, sensitivity to light, and nausea. This serious illness spreads through respiratory and throat secretions, with close or prolonged contact increasing the risk. To help prevent it, ensure your child is up to date with vaccinations and avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms.
