Protect Yourself from Meningitis (Meningococcal Disease)

Meningitis is a serious infection that can cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord—and it can progress quickly. Kinney Drugs offers CDC-recommended meningococcal vaccines to help you stay healthy and protected.

What Is Meningococcal Disease?

Meningococcal disease is caused by bacteria that can lead to meningitis and bloodstream infections.
It can result in severe complications, including brain damage, hearing loss, and death.
Adolescents, young adults, and individuals with certain health conditions are at higher risk.

The vaccine is recommended for:
- All adolescents starting at age 11–12, with a booster at age 16.
- College-bound students and young adults ages 16–23 (MenB vaccine).
- Children and adults at increased risk due to medical conditions or outbreak exposure.
