While we kickstart festivities from the month of October, this month also marks the World Meningitis Day on the 5th of October. World Meningitis Day is an opportunity to get together and raise awareness about a disease that affects millions each year. However, we wouldn’t want to be restricted to a day, hence we would like to have a detailed understanding around this disease through a series of expert sessions through the month of October. We have with us Dr. Pramod Jog  who is an  MD, DNB, FIAP, PROF. OF PEDIATRICS.  In today’s live session with the expert you can learn about the following things-

 

  • Despite significant progress over the last few decades, meningitis remains a mysterious disease worldwide with a high death rate. Doctor will educate us about the disease, and whether it affects India?
  • What kind of vaccine is there for meningitis and at what age does a child need it? 
  • How many doses of the Meningococcal Meningitis Vaccine should be given to the child? And what should be the approximate age for the same?
  • Is there a particular age group of children who are affected by this disease? Why? 
  • What are the symptoms of meningococcal meningitis? And what are the ways to keep a child safe and secure from this disease? 
  • Are there any preliminary steps parents can follow to fight this disease?

Hello Doctor! I have heard Meningitis spread through droplet infection. So how do we ensure that our child would be safe in school, though she herself is vaccinated. But what if, the child sitting next to her has already suffered from it or is a carrier? Are there any signs and symptoms that can help identify the carriers and further prevent the infection from spreading? Thanks in advance.

Sir namaskar! My child is 6 years old now. Since Meningococcal Meningitis vaccination is optional, we didnt administer it to our child as it was not available in the government hospital and in private it was very costly. So is it something we should be worried about? Can we get our child vaccinated now? Or we can skip it?
