The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently expanded the meningococcal immunization recommendations
to include all adolescents 11-18 years of age.
The Get S.M.A.R.T. About Meningitis! materials have been updated to reflect these changes.
The campaign is designed to provide strategies and tools to help educate parents and students about meningococcal disease and the importance of prevention.
