Professor Adam Finn (Bristol, UK), on the occasion of the 1st WAidid Congress, speaks about meningococcal disease. Some people - say Prof. Finn - think that meningococcal disease is so unlikely that is the same of winning the lottery; on the other hand, some people think it quite easily occurs. The reality - underlines Finn - is that the chances in a whole lifetime of getting meningococcal disease are around about one in a thousand; that is not incredibly common but is not incredibly rare either. The other main point of Professor Finn's talk focuses on how the meningococcal vaccine works and its importance.
