I suspect that getting the information to the parents is not the problem, since no CI center worth it's legal salt is going to forget something like that when it could result in a lawsuit. The problem is motivating parents to actually do it.
Some people have a "it will never happen to me" mentality. I see kids all the time in the back seat of cars unrestrained by seat belts and shake my head. If the percentage of CI children actually getting meningitis was higher than it was then perhaps they would be more diligent about it but because its under 1%, it gets dismissed and forgotten about?
