About the Meningococcal Meningitis Risk Assessment
You may recall your teen getting a meningitis vaccine around the age of 11. But did you know nearly 85% of older teens are not fully vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis?*†
*Among 17-year-olds in the 2023 National Immunization Survey, only 59.7% had received 2 or more MenACWY vaccine doses and only 12.8% had received 2 or more MenB vaccine doses.
This short questionnaire is designed to help you think about whether your teen may have certain risk factors for meningitis—and if it might be a good time to talk with their doctor about vaccination.
This questionnaire is for educational purposes only and is not meant to replace medical advice. Your teen’s doctor can help you decide what’s right for them.
