College Students and Meningococcal Disease

If your child is going to college this fall, the Maternal Child Health department would like you to be aware of a vaccine that prevents MENINGOCOCCAL, a serious bacterial infection that can cause meningitis. College freshmen living in dorms have a six-time greater chance of getting meningococcal disease than other college students, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fortunately, 68% to 83% of meningococcal disease in college students is caused by strains of bacteria that are potentially vaccine preventable. For more information contact the Maternal Child Health department.
