What is Meningococcal Disease?

Meningococcal disease is any illness or condition caused by the Neisseria meningitidis bacteria, which are often severe illnesses that can result in death. The bacteria are transmitted through respiratory secretions, meaning spit and saliva. However, it takes close contact for transmission to occur (kissing, coughing in very close quarters, etc.).

Meningococcal disease most often affects the spinal cord and brain lining, but may also cause infections within the bloodstream. Protect yourself and your children from this disease by scheduling a meningococcal vaccine today.
