Can meningitis be prevented?

Answer

Yes. A safe and effective vaccine is available to protect against four of the five most common strains of the disease. The vaccine provides protection for approximately three to five years. As with any vaccine, vaccination against meningitis may not protect 100 percent of all susceptible individuals. Currently, the Student Health Center does offer the meningitis vaccine. Call for an appointment and for current prices.
