Describe meningococcal disease from a clinical perspective. 2. Establish knowledge of parents, with children under 5 years old about meningococcal disease. 3. Reveal view, towards meningococcal disease vaccination of parents, with children under 5 years old. Problem of work: What is the awareness of parents, with children under 5 years old about meningococcal disease and their view towards vaccination? The object of work: Parents, with children under 5 years old. Methods and participants of work: Instantaneous quantitative survey, applying anonymous questionnaire survey, interviewing parents, with children under 5 years old. Results and conclusions: 1. Meningococcal disease is rare, but very serious and life-threatening disease that spreads very quickly. This illness is caused by gram-negative bacterium called Neisseria meningitidis, which serogroup B in Lithuania is the predominant cause of disease and mortality. Meningococcal disease is transmitted through the exchange of respiratory secretions during close contact and is very deadly for children under 5 years old. The classic features of hemorrhagic rash, meningism, and impaired consciousness developed late - median onset 13-22 hours. Recognizing the early symptoms of meningococcal disease could increase the proportion of saved children, because the majority of deaths occurs in the first 24 hours. 2. Most of the surveyed people are well in common with meningococcal disease and know that it is spread through the respiratory secretion. Almost half of the respondents mistakenly thinks that meningococcal disease is caused not by bacteria, but by virus. People at highest risk for getting meningococcal disease are those who had a very close contact with carriers or just others, who have MI. Less than half respondents know that the most important symptoms of meningococcal disease are neck stiffness and hemorrhagic purpuric rash. More than half study subjects know the worst outcomes such as amputation and death, but are not familiar with the other, also very important one – hearing loss. More participants tend to think, that they have more time until death can occur – 48 hours or 72 hours. Most of the surveyed people gets the needed information from the press and the internet. 3. Half of the respondents say that they are in favor for vaccinating their children from meningococcal disease, a quarter say that they are against it, and a quarter say that they have no opinion. Common parental perceptions included worry about vaccine safety and contraindications. More than half parents have never vaccinated their children from MI, tenth part of the respondents say that they have vaccinated and other individuals chose that they don’t know if they have or not. A quarter of participants say, that now they are thinking more positively about vaccination from meningococcal disease, since it’s introduced into the childhood immunization schedule	en_US
