Immunization toolkit: meningitis resources

Meningitis vaccines offer life-saving protection for the ones you love. The pandemic and disruptions in healthcare across the world means millions of those most vulnerable to meningitis may have missed out on crucial vaccinations.

Every year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) coordinates World Immunization Week (24-30th April 2023), a campaign that aims to protect communities worldwide from vaccine-preventable diseases. To commemorate the week, we launched a suite of meningitis-specific resources relating to immunization that can be used all year. 

We’re calling on everyone to play a role and make 2023 the year of catching-up on meningitis vaccines. Take action now by sharing this page on social media.
