Which are preventive measures for meningitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaccines: Universal immunization of children against hemophilus influenzae, type b, and pneumococcus was the successful example. Meningococcal vaccines proved to be effective but limited to 4 serotypes. There is no effective vaccine available yet for viral meningitis by enterovirus.
