Lai Thi Bich Thuy - CarePlus Pediatric Specialist recently posted pictures of her family taking ACWY's meningococcal encephalitis vaccine at CarePlus with a call action for a child, even parents and caregivers should get vaccines to protect the health. Some useful information regarding ACWY meningococcal disease from Dr. Lai Thi Bich Thuy:

MOMENTAL DISEASE - dangerous disease but have preventive medicine

  • Meningococcal disease is septicemia, often causing severe complications of meningitis

  • It is a dangerous disease spread through the respiratory tract

  • The ultimate form can quickly die within 24 hours

  • The reservoir of meningococcal bacteria in nature is human. The main source of transmission is patients and carriers

  • In the past outbreaks, there may be more than 25% of infected people do not show obvious manifestations and up to 50% of healthy people carry meningococcal bacteria.

  • If a person is infected, the contacts must take preventive medicine

  • The disease is very dangerous, but there are vaccines to prevent 

  • If your baby has had AC meningococcal injection 3 years ago, parents need to give their baby a reminder injection with only 1 shot.

😍😍 LET’S GO TO GET INJECTION OF THE ACWY CRANE

- Children from 9 months to under 2 years old: 2 doses at least 3 months apart
