“Know about pneumo” campaign launched

A campaign to raise awareness of pneumococcal disease has been launched by the British Lung Foundation, Help the Aged and the Meningitis Research Foundation this month.

The campaign aims to advise people at risk about the conditions and potentially lethal complications associated with pneumococcal infection. As part of the “Know about pneumo” campaign, postcards containing information about the disease will be available in selected pharmacies.

The campaign is supported by an educational grant from Sanofi Pasteur MSD.
