Meningococcal disease is a rare bacterial infection that can be deadly if not identified and treated quickly.

Children that receive regular vaccinations would have been given the vaccination for one strain of meningococcal disease (usually given at 12 months of age). Although the routine vaccination can help protect against the one strain it does not protect against every type of meningococcal bacteria.

Your child could still be at risk from other types of meningococcal disease.

Speak to your GP to find out more about meningococcal disease and how you can ensure that your family is protected.
