Madeline Duarte
Madeline’s Story
Madeline Duarte’s daughter Melissa was in high school when a potentially vaccine-preventable disease tragically took her life. Melissa stayed home from school one day with flu-like symptoms and when Madeline returned home from work, she found Melissa unconscious in her bed. It was only after her daughter’s death that Madeline and her family learned about meningococcal disease and that immunization may have saved her daughter’s life.
