According to the World Health Organization (WHO), each year nearly 20 million pregnant women carry group B strep (GBS). Although GBS is harmless for most pregnant individuals, it can be extremely serious when it passes to babies during pregnancy, childbirth or in the first months of life.

Group B Strep Awareness Month (GBSAM) is an opportunity for organizations and individuals around the world to tell their stories, share information, and promote healthy outcomes for babies worldwide. This year we want to focus on stories from GBS families worldwide. These stories matter and highlight the need for GBS awareness and prevention. Keep an eye out for these interactive stories by following us on social media.

What We Do
|
What You Should KnowEach of the three distinct time periods when GBS can infect babies has its own prevention challenges and strategies.
|
How You Can HelpThere are many ways to help from sharing a brochure with a pregnant friend to organizing a trail ride fundraiser to starting an awareness campaign with your department of health!
|
|
Participate in the WAVES Study to help determine the gaps in GBS care and communication. If you’ve had a baby (with or without group B strep disease) conceived on or after January 1, 2003, we want to hear from you! Help prevent future babies from becoming infected!
Remember to share with friends and family so we can all wave goodbye to group B strep disease in babies! |
