Who Should Get Vaccinated?

Vaccination is the best way to help protect students from meningococcal meningitis.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other leading medical groups recommend meningococcal vaccines for preteens and teens beginning at age 11, with a booster dose by 18 years of age.10

Meningitis vaccines are available for people who wish to reduce their risk for contracting the disease.11
