This year is the 25th year of July as International Group B Strep Awareness Month being observed. It was created to bring awareness of group B strep to the general public.

Group B Strep Awareness Saves Lives

Did you know that Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of life-threatening infection in newborns in the UK—and most of these infections are preventable?

This July, we’re supporting Group B Strep Support (GBSS) in their mission to raise awareness, provide vital information to families and healthcare professionals, and support those affected.

Together, we can help protect more babies and support more families. 💛
