Meningitis B is very deadly and can kill babies and toddlers in less than four hours. More than 10 per cent of victims are killed by the disease, with around 15 per cent of survivors left disabled and suffering long-term effects.
A new jab which protects against the most deadly form of meningitis could be available within months, scientists have claimed.
Trials on 4CMenB vaccine, the first ever vaccine against meningitis B, have produced “exciting” results that could help combat the disease and save the lives of hundreds of children each year.
The results, presented at the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases in The Hague, showed that the vaccine was effective in guarding against about 80 per cent of 1,000 meningitis B strains from across Europe, the Daily Mail reported.
“The results are exciting and it’s a very positive step in the fight to eradicate meningitis B, which is the biggest killer of all types of meningitis in the UK,” said Steve Dayman, of the Meningitis UK charity.
“This vaccine is the first of its kind and has the potential to save thousands of lives.”
Good Work!
