Could my child be at increased risk?
Kids will be kids. But some things they do can increase their risks of getting meningococcal disease.3,5 If your kids engage in any of the following activities, they could be at risk:
- Live in a dormitory or close quarters.
- Get stuck in crowded situations for long periods.
- Share water bottles, or other drinking containers.
- Share food or eating utensils.
- Kiss other adolescents.
- Smoke or inhale secondhand smoke.
- Often stay out late or miss out on sleep.
All of those activities can increase a child’s risk of getting meningococcal disease.3,5 A single vaccination with Menactra vaccine is something you can do immediately to help protect your children from meningococcal disease and meningitis.1,2
