Meningococcal C (Men-C-C) Vaccine in Ottawa
Protect Your Child Against Life-Threatening Meningitis with Safe Immunization at Centrepointe Medical Consultants
What is Meningococcal Disease?
Meningococcal disease is a rare but extremely serious bacterial infection that can cause:
- Meningitis (infection of the lining of the brain and spinal cord)
- Septicemia (blood poisoning)
- Permanent disabilities such as hearing loss, brain damage, limb amputations, etc.
- Death, sometimes within 24 hours of symptom onset
Meningococcal Group C is one of the most common and dangerous strains affecting infants and young children. The Men-C-C vaccine offers life-saving protection against this form.
Key Vaccinations and Preventive Measures
What is the Men-C-C Vaccine?
The Men-C-C vaccine (Meningococcal Conjugate C) protects against Neisseria meningitidis type C bacteria. It is:
- Highly effective in preventing Meningococcal C infection
- Administered as a single dose at 12 months of age
- Often combined with other meningococcal vaccines (such as Men-C-ACYW) in later years for broader protection
At Centrepointe Medical Consultants, we follow Ontario’s public immunization schedule to ensure your child is protected at the right time.
Why the Meningococcal C Vaccine is Important
Although rare, meningococcal disease progresses rapidly and can be fatal. Vaccination is the only reliable protection, and early immunization greatly reduces the risk of:
- Hospitalization
- Severe neurological complications
- Loss of limbs or organs
- Death from sudden infection
Immunizing your child helps protect them and contributes to community (herd) immunity, especially for those who cannot be vaccinated.
