WORLD MENINGITIS DAY 2018
ALL YEARS OF WMD
World Meningitis Day 2018
​
The theme for World Meningitis Day 2018 is #AllMeningitisMatters. The campaign will focus on the different causes of meningitis and the vaccines that can help protect against certain strains of bacterial and viral meningitis.
​
The key messages of the 2018 campaign are:
-
Meningitis is a potentially deadly disease that can kill within 24 hours.
-
Bacterial meningitis can be caused by many different types of bacteria.
-
There are safe and effective vaccines that protect against the most common causes of bacterial and viral meningitis.
-
Not all strains of meningitis are vaccine preventable, so being able to recognise the symptoms is crucial.
