Also, the vaccine only applies to the Groups A, C, Y and W-135 of the meningococcal bacteria. The vaccine will not protect against Group B. The vaccine is recommended for persons who:
Are age two (2) or older
Are susceptible to certain conditions that may cause meningococcal meningitis
Are living in, working in, or visiting an area where there is a high incidence of meningococcal infection
Are exposed to areas where the epidemic is occurring and the cases are due to Groups A, C, Y, and W-135
Are military recruits
Have no spleen
Questions To Ask Your Doctor About Meningococcal Meningitis
Is it contagious?
Can a person who was just "in the room" contract meningococcal meningitis?
Is there any permanent damage?
How long until the condition goes away?
Can a person get meningococcal meningitis again?
This was one of the most, different videos I've ever made. For everything so far, there was an easy way to prevent it from happening, whether it be reporting the abuse, keepin and eye on children, keeping your car doors locked, this is one of those things that there isn't a sure way to prevent it from happening, but I still wanted to share Landan's story and to bring awareness to meningococcal in the hopes that maybe, it can make one more caregiver aware. Or it can help them know the signs of meningococcal or maybe there is anothing message in here. About how important each day is because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

this video makes me feel sad, but yet so lucky to have survived meningococcal, made me really think about how everyone must have felt while i was in a coma fightin for my life with no idea that the doc had told my family they all had to say there goodbyes to me. i was lucky enough to suddenly improve after the 3rd night in the coma then after 9 days i woke up and had won the fight. god bless this boys family i only wish he was as lucky as i was and had of survived... r.i.p little mate.

What a beautiful child gone too soon. That is so scary to know your child could have a sore throat one day and be fighting for their life the next. I didn't know about this shot before. Thanks for informing everyone J.
