A new Meningitis vaccine is available for the first time in
Europe which protects you against four of the big problems in the disease. The
vaccine known as Menveo will most likely be used as a travel vaccine.

People that are travelling to sub-Saharan area of Africa are
more likely to receive the jab as the large section of Africa is commonly known
as the Meningitis Belt due to the severity of the disease in this area. The
vaccine will offer a long lasting effect against Meningitis and also offers
better protection in infants and young children.

News like this can only be of the good kind for the
travellers of the world and people that are the most likely to visit the
specific areas of Africa. If anyone out there has been effected by this or have
any views on it leave a comment and let me know how you feel.
