Please Support Our Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign

Meningitis UK's Search 4 a Vaccine Campaign aims to raise £7 million over the next seven years 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.

Scientists believe that with enough support, this can be achieved within the next 7-10 years - possibly even sooner. The date of the launch - the fourth of the fourth - highlights the devastating fact that ‘Meningitis can kill in under 4 hours'.
