Vaccinations against Haemophilus-influenzae-b (Hib), meningococci (serogroups A, B, C), and pneumococci are important and effective preventive measures.Furthermore, to prevent bacterial meningitis (bacterial meningitis), attention must be paid to reducing risk factors.
Behavioral risk factors
- Listeria meningitis – consumption of contaminated food such as milk or raw meat.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)
Post-exposure prophylaxis (here because of meningococcal infection) is the provision of medication to prevent disease in persons who are not protected against a particular disease by vaccination but have been exposed to it. For more information, see “Drug therapy.”
