A member asked:
How long does the meningitis c vaccine take to be effective? i got it on 28 february am i immune now?

Maybe: Most vaccines take 2-3 weeks to achieve an effective level of protection so you are well on your way.Even if you have the vaccine you should remain vigilant to any exposures and not expect 100% protection. No one is a better judge of how you feel than you, so practicing regular hand washing and limiting exposure to known sources remains the primary mode of defence.
