Primary Prevention
- Vaccines prevent infectious causes of ID such as congenital rubella syndrome, pneumococcal, and H. influenzae meningitis. [1]
- Avoiding alcohol during pregnancy prevents fetal alcohol syndrome. [2]
- Folate supplementation at 400-800 mcg/day in women three months before conception through the first trimester reduces the risk for neural tube defects. [3]
