The Mission of every Infectious Awareables tie is to generate interest, discussion - even excitement - about serious public health issues which affect us all. Believing that humor can be a powerful educational tool, Infectious Awareables neckties take an atypical, slightly irreverent approach to some very serious subjects. A portion of the proceeds from each these ties is donated to organizations that are dedicated to research, education or treatment of these diseases. You can do your part to help educate people about these diseases by getting your tie Today.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a bacterium responsible for the blood, bone and ear infections, as well as meningitis and pneumonia. Vaccines are available and recommended for seniors and children.
