Our vision is a vaccine to eradicate meningitis. Our mission is to find one.

Meningitis UK has a single focus - to find a vaccine to protect against all forms of meningitis and associated diseases.

Meningitis UK's 'Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign' aims to raise £7 million to help fund cutting-edge research to develop a vaccine against Meningitis B, which causes almost 90% of cases in the UK and for which there is currently no vaccine.

Meningitis can KILL in under 4 hours, please help us find a vaccine
