Kill or cure? Meningitis
In March 2007, as an epidemic was raging in Burkina Faso, MVP partnered with U.K. film production company Rockhopper TV to create a documentary on meningococcal meningitis for BBC's Kill or Cure series. The 22-minute film offers a poignant and revealing account of the devastating impact meningitis epidemics have on individuals, families, and communities. The film also takes viewers to Mali where MVP's new meningococcal A conjugate vaccine is being tested. This film aired on BBC World 8–13 June 2007.
