Meningitis vaccine cleared for young children
A cooperative effort between Finnish and U S doctors has cleared a meningitis vaccine for children from three months to six years old. The vaccine targets a common bacterial form of meningitis. NIH director Dr R M Krause calls the development an important step forward in controlling this serious illness.
