Meningitis B: What Parents Should Know

Meningitis B is a rare but serious bacterial infection that can cause swelling of the brain and spinal cord. It can progress quickly and become life-threatening—even in otherwise healthy teens.
**Watch for symptoms like:
• Fever
• Severe headache
• Neck stiffness
• Nausea/vomiting
• Sensitivity to light
• Confusion or difficulty waking

**Who is at risk?
Teens and young adults (especially ages 16–23), particularly those living in close quarters like dorms.

**Protection matters:
The Trumenba vaccine helps protect against Meningitis B. It’s recommended based on age and risk—and can be an important layer of protection before college.

**Not sure if your child is up to date? We’re happy to help review their vaccine schedule.

awareness + prevention = peace of mind

Spring into healthy habits
Warmer weather brings pollen and seasonal allergies.
• Start allergy meds early if your child needs them (oral antihistamines, nasal steroid sprays )
• Wash hands & faces after outdoor play
• Change clothes after being outside
• Keep windows closed on high pollen days ParentTips KidsHealth FamilyHealth SpringWellness
