The Meningitis B Action Project is a joint initiative by two mothers, Patti Wukovits and Alicia Stillman, who each lost their young, healthy daughters too soon to a now vaccine-preventable disease, Meningitis B (MenB). The project provides easy-to-understand, practical resources to:
- Arm young adults and their parents with information to proactively talk to their healthcare provider about MenB and the MenB vaccine
- Encourage school and college administrators, as well as the medical community, to inform students and patients about MenB and the MenB vaccine
- Engage policymakers to ensure broader access to the MenB vaccine
In 2014, to educate the public about meningococcal disease and MenB vaccination, Patti and Alicia established their own foundations, The Kimberly Coffey Foundation and The Emily Stillman Foundation, named after their daughters. In 2017, both mothers joined forces under the Meningitis B Action Project to make sure other parents don’t needlessly suffer their same fate.
