Get Vaccinated
Meningococcal disease is potentially life threatening. It develops very rapidly and can be fatal to a previously healthy person in a matter of hours.
- Young adults are at increased risk. College students are at high risk because of risky behaviors and living in close quarters like residence halls or Greek housing.
- Currently Meningococcal vaccination is given at 11 & 16 years of age, but many young adults have missed it.
- Public Colleges and universities in Idaho do not require immunizations to enter school.
- Many college students are unprotected.
