Ahead of the upcoming Lunar New Year, or Tet, many families are prioritizing health by choosing meningococcal vaccination. This step aims to prevent illness during the festive period and subsequent spring travel.

Tet, a key time for family reunions and travel across Vietnam, involves increased contact and movement. These activities can elevate the risk of transmitting infectious diseases, including meningococcal disease. Meningococcal disease is a severe bacterial infection, potentially leading to meningitis or sepsis.

Vaccination offers protection, allowing families to celebrate Tet and enjoy spring outings with peace of mind. Vaccination centers such as VNVC are observing this trend as individuals and families seek to minimize health risks during the holiday season.
