From '16 Candles' to 16 Vaccine project, actor Molly Ringwald stars in Sanofi's push for meningitis shot

Actor Molly Ringwald is famous for the movie "16 Candles," but these days she’s more concerned about The 16 Vaccine project with Sanofi.

Ringwald, who is mom to a teenager and two preteens, stars in a public service announcement promoting the project. In the ad, she emphasizes how important it was to make sure her 16-year-old daughter received the second meningitis four-strain MenACWY booster. Appearing alongside Ringwald is the president of the National Meningitis Association Leslie Maier, who lost her son, Chris, to meningococcal meningitis when he was in high school.
