Meningococcal Meningitis is the leading cause of life threatening meningitis in young adults in the U.S. It strikes about 3,000 people each year with 300 deaths. College students account for about 125 cases and 15 deaths.The infection is spread by air droplets similar to the flu virus and has flu-like symptoms initially. Symptoms can progress rapidly and lead to shock or death in hours.
The risk for young adults ages 18-23 is 1.5/1,000,000. College students are not at higher risk than non-students except for freshmen, particularly those living in residence halls (4.6/100,000).
The vaccine is safe and available through your own doctor or the Student Health and Counseling Center at CWU.Side effects are uncommon and usually mild.The vaccine will cause immunity in about 90% of the individuals, but it is ineffective against one serotype of meningoccus, which causes about 30% of the cases.The vaccination lasts three to five years and costs approximately $70.
Mass immunization has not been recommended because of the incidence of meningoccus disease is low. However, the American College Health Association recommends that parents and students, especially freshmen and other residence hall students who want to reduce their risk of disease, consider the benefit of vaccination.Students who have had a splenectomy or who are immunodeficient should consider vaccination.
If you have questions, feel free to contact Student Health Center at 963-1881.
