Meningococcal infection is a disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis, mainly caused by six serogroups, including A, B, C, W, X, Y. Among them, type B accounts for 50% of the incidence (1), of which infants (less than five years old) have the highest prevalence (2), and parents should not neglect it.
The disease is mainly spread through direct contact with a patient's respiratory secretions and can lead to brain damage and even death. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent meningococcal infection.
