This post and video were a partnership with The 16 Vaccine campaign, the National Meningitis Association, and Sanofi US. All opinions are 100% our own.

On Wednesday, September 22, we hosted a LIVE virtual chat on Facebook, featuring award-winning actress Molly Ringwald, National Meningitis Association (NMA) President Leslie Maier, NMA advocate John Grimes and Dr. Albert Karam, in collaboration with Sanofi Pasteur.

Together, we discussed how we can help protect our teens against meningococcal #meningitis, which they’re at increased risk for. For the best protection, the CDC recommends a first dose of the MenACWY vaccine at ages 11-12 and a second dose at age 16. Unfortunately, adolescent vaccination rates are low across the country, especially in the Dallas area.

Krystal Hurst
Krystal is a Dallas-native who began her career as a fourth grade teacher in Richardson RISD, but quickly changed paths to became a stay-at-home mom in 2011. Through a happy coincidence, she stumbled upon (what was then known as) Dallas Moms Blog in 2012 and found a community she’d been looking for since coming a mom. Shortly after joining the team, she gratefully accepted the “baton” passed to her as new owner of the site, and took off with it running full speed! Krystal not only helped to grow Dallas Moms into a large parenting resource, but also launched Collin County Moms in 2016; providing those in the north Dallas suburbs their community resource platform. While building a community, uniting the moms, and growing a business around this passion was a dream come true, after almost 10 years, Krystal officially stepped down as owner, and is now focusing on raising her 4 boys with her husband, Tim, and rediscovering old hobbies.
