What is it about?
Numerical simulation of the optimal control problem demonstrates that the best strategy to control bacterial meningitis is to combine vaccination with other interventions (such as treatment and public health education).

Why is it important?
This paper presents an optimal control model for bacterial meningitis in the presence of vaccination and treatment due to public health education. The model is qualitatively analyzed and numerically simulated in order to help give policy direction on how to control the spread of the disease.
Perspectives
Vaccination and treatment are the most effective ways of controlling the transmission of most infectious diseases. Hence, this article considered the implementation of these controls using dynamical analysis and hope readers will enjoy the importance of applying control theory in studying infectious diseases.
