Meningitis Risk Declines As Vaccine Runs Out
Ron Law, Risk & Policy Analyst
"False reports that the Meningitis risk rises as vaccine runs out are contrary to Ministry of Health research which shows that babies are at increased risk of contracting meningococcal disease following the MeNZB vaccine," says risk & policy analyst, Ron Law.
Parents should be told the truth about the lack of effect of the MeNZB vaccine on the overall meningococcal disease epidemic... it has not made one iota of difference to the gradual natural decline that had been occurring before the MeNZB vaccine was rolled out.
