1-year-old baby meningitis vaccine?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
From 1 year on, Turkey's Health Ministry has two different vaccines against meningitis:
- MenACWY (quadrivalent meningitis vaccine): Given as a single dose at 12 months, protects against serogroups A, C, W, and Y. (Current schedules may offer starting at 6 months, but the 1-year dose is most common.)
- MenB (Group B meningitis vaccine): Usually given as 2 doses (at 2 and 4 months), completed with a booster at 12 months. If your baby started later, it can still be given after 1 year, but the number of doses and intervals will be arranged by your pediatrician.
These vaccines are part of the Health Ministry's routine schedule and are free. Check your child's vaccination card to see which meningitis vaccines have been given, and consult your family doctor or pediatrician to ensure the 1-year dose isn't missed.
