Özet

Objective: Although meningococcal infections are most feared infectious diseases due to their high mortality and the possibility of leading to epidemics, there is no common practice for vaccination yet. In this study, we aimed to determine the level of knowledge about meningococcal infection and vaccination, and the attitude towards meningococcal vaccination among pediatricians.
