Meningococcal meningitis is a disease in which membranes around the brain and spinal cord become inflamed. It’s a potentially fatal disease that can have a life-changing, permanent impact on survivors, even when adequate treatment is provided. Each year meningococcal meningitis affects about 2.5-million people resulting in about 230,000 deaths.
World Meningitis Day falls April 24 each year and this year’s theme was Take Action #DefeatMeningitis. A recent Sunday Times Connect in partnership with Sanofi Pasteur online event put the spotlight on how to protect your loved ones from meningococcal meningitis.
