Want to see another chart that shows vaccines work?
If improved hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, or some other factor caused meningococcal C rates to drop, then why didn’t it do the same for menB rates?
Another Chart That Shows Vaccines Work
Anti-vaccine influencers often try to misuse mortality graphs and charts to claim that vaccines don’t work.
“In the United Kingdom, implementation of serogroup C (MenC) meningococcal conjugate vaccine in 1999 led to sustained declines in MenC disease”

It is easy to see that they are wrong though.
In the UK, as meningococcal vaccines were introduced, the chart shows that rates of meningococcal disease have dropped:
- MenC vaccine was introduced in 1999
- MenB vaccine was introduced in September 2015
- MenACWY vaccine was introduced in August 2015
And so have deaths.
What else?
“The UK MenACWY vaccination programme reduced carriage acquisition of genogroup and serogroup Y and W meningococci and sustained low levels of genogroup C carriage. These data support the use of quadrivalent MenACWY conjugate vaccine for indirect (herd) protection.”
Impact of meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccines on pharyngeal carriage in adolescents: evidence for herd protection from the UK MenACWY programme
A herd protection effect from the MenACWY vaccine!
And that’s all great news, as you wouldn’t want your kids to get meningococcal disease.
