Listen to the heart-breaking story of young adults Emily and Kim,  who lost their lives to meningococcal meningitis.

Their mothers swore never to let this happen to other children.  Patti Wukovits and Alicia Stillman each lost their young, healthy daughters too soon to Meningitis B, a disease that is now preventable through vaccination. In 2012, high school senior Kimberly, 17, Patti’s daughter, died one week before her graduation. In 2013, college sophomore Emily, 19, Alicia’s daughter, died just 36 hours after her first symptoms.

Both girls were vaccinated, but NOT against the full five types of meningitis.
They died from meningitis B.

The best way to prevent this illness and death today is to assure your child is vaccinated against all 5 forms of meningitis - A, B, C, W, and Y.  Check with your doctor to assure about complete vaccination, and insist on complete coverage against all five types - A, B, C, W, and Y.
