For Students

ACHF, in partnership with Pfizer, developed a digital brochure to be shared with students to help educate them on the causes, symptoms, and spread of serogroup B meningococcal disease (MenB). The brochure also highlights prevention of MenB through vaccination and the rates of MenB compared to other serogroups. Available materials include a PDF version as well as images to be shared on a campus website or through social media accounts.
This brochure can be posted directly on your campus health center website as either an image or a PDF, or shared on social media platforms.
Materials include:
· A PDF for printing or posting as link on a website
· An image for web posting (a PNG for posting as an image on a website)
· Social media-optimized images (PNGs for sharing on social media sites)
Available as a free download.
