Your on-line resource for the prevention of meningococcal disease
Because adolescents are at increased risk
for meningococcal disease,
health-care professionals should take
advantage of every opportunity to
talk to parents and their adolescent children
about the dangers of meningococcal disease
and the benefits of vaccination.
