This age group, which includes your daughter, have had to wait because they are at slightly less risk of the disease than very young children or teenagers going off to college. So I expect your daughter's school will be arranging a session this term which should include her. Statistics from those children so far vaccinated are very good news. In real numbers this means well over 100 cases of Meningococcus C disease have been avoided, and so many lives saved. The safety of the vaccine is being closely monitored but so far it appears to be very safe, with no side effect occurring more than 1 in 10,000 cases.
Most side effects are minor, such as headache, nausea, rash, dizziness and malaise.
So far, there appears to be no link between vaccination and seizures. Visit our extensive Ask the Doctor library of all previously asked questions and answers covering a wide range of topics.
