International Group B Strep Awareness Month
Protecting Newborns Through Awareness, Screening & Equity
Each July, International Group B Strep (GBS) Awareness Month brings global attention to the risks of GBS infection in newborns—a preventable yet serious condition.
Group B Streptococcus is a common bacterium that many people carry without symptoms. But when passed to a baby during labour, it can cause life-threatening infections such as sepsis, pneumonia, or meningitis.
At Azurite Health, we believe every baby deserves a safe start in life. This month, we’re raising awareness of GBS and the steps that can protect both mothers and babies—especially in communities where access to care and screening may be limited.
Why this matters:
- Awareness saves lives: Many parents and even healthcare providers are unaware of the risks of GBS, especially in settings without routine screening protocols.
- Early screening is key: Maternal GBS testing during pregnancy can lead to timely antibiotic treatment in labour, dramatically reducing the risk to the baby.
- Equity matters: Black women and families in low-resource settings face a greater burden of maternal and newborn complications. Addressing GBS is one important step toward more equitable maternal health outcomes.
We’re committed to amplifying knowledge, promoting prevention, and closing awareness gaps—because health equity begins at birth.

Protecting Our Community: Join Azurite Health in Supporting the NHS - Vaccination Programmes
Azurite Health is committed to promoting community health by supporting vital public health initiatives like the NHS Flu and Shingles Vaccination Programmes. It's important to remember that these vaccines are crucial for preventing severe illness and safeguarding our community’s well-being.
Flu, in particular, can spread quickly and lead to serious complications, especially among older adults, young children, and those with pre-existing conditions. The NHS offers free flu vaccines to those at higher risk, including people aged 65 and over, pregnant women, and individuals with long-term health conditions. By getting your flu vaccine, you not only protect yourself but also help reduce the strain on the NHS.
At the same time, we also continue to support the NHS Shingles Vaccination Programme. Shingles can cause severe pain and long-term complications, especially in older adults. The NHS offers a free shingles vaccine to those aged 70 to 79 to help prevent this condition. Getting vaccinated not only protects you from shingles but also helps keep our community healthy and strong.
We encourage everyone who qualifies to take advantage of these vaccination opportunities. Together, we can protect ourselves and our community from flu and shingles this season.
For more information on eligibility and vaccination sites, please visit the official NHS website:
Let’s work together for a healthier future by supporting the NHS vaccination programmes.
