What Is Meningitis?
8. Prevention
One way to help prevent meningitis is to keep up to date with the appropriate vaccines. There are not vaccines for all pathogens that can cause the disease, however, so it is a good idea to take other precautions as well. This largely means maintaining high hygiene standards.
Washing your hands regularly is an effective method of helping to prevent the spread of pathogens that can cause meningitis. You should also try and avoid sharing items such as cutlery and drinking vessels with other people. Taking good care of yourself overall will also help to protect you by helping to keep your immune system strong.
