Meningococcal Meningitis Advisement
Meningococcal Meningitis is a rare but potentially dangerous illness. Although the risk of contracting this disease is low for the general population, there is increased risk for college-aged students due to risk factors that often are a part of campus life. One of these risk factors include residence hall living. As a preventative measure, Student Health Services recommends students be vaccinated against the potentially fatal disease. Please check with your health care providers or local department of health for further information regarding available vaccines or contact us at (501) 450-1448.
