College Concerns

Average User Rating:
Many states have laws that mandate the meningococcal vaccine for children entering college who reside in on-campus housing unless they have a doctor’s note saying it’s not recommended. Other states are more lenient, only requiring that students be informed about the risks associated with the disease and the benefits of vaccination. To see where your state stands on this matter, visit the National Meningitis Association.
