Parents urged to check childrens' vaccination records after 3 people die from meningitis

A specialist in public health medicine is urging parents to check the vaccination records of their children after three people died from meningitis in the last three weeks.

Dr Suzanne Cotter of the HSE’s Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HSPC) told RTE’s Morning Ireland that some parents think their children are fully vaccinated when in fact they might have missed the 13th month visit.
