More details from petition creator

It is estimated that approximately 1 out of every 1,600 babies born in the UK and Ireland develops early-onset GBS infection. This means that every year in the UK (with 700,000 births per year) around 440 babies will develop early-onset GBS infection. GBS infections can cause blood poisoning (septicaemia), infection of the lung (pneumonia) or infection of the lining of the brain (meningitis), and each of these can be life threatening. Sadly, even with the best medical care, 1 out of every 10 babies diagnosed with early-onset GBS infection will die (approximately 44 babies a year). However, if pregnancies at increased risk of GBS infection are identified and appropriately managed, most early-onset GBS disease in newborn babies could be prevented.
