It has no boundaries of race, age, economical, social levels or geography.  However some age groups, races and countries are at a higher risk than others.

We  educate the public, schools, daycares, colleges, government and media on bacterial meningitis and the preventions including immunizations.  We promote and sometimes conduct research on meningitis and the after effects.
