Ask your GP or Registered Nurse about Meningococcal vaccinations. The most common strains are preventable with vaccination. No single vaccine can protect against all strains of IMD vaccines do not cover all strains of IMD.


IMD can occur at any age, however babies and children up to the age of 5 are most at risk.
