Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department encourages all youth aged 16 to 23 to get their Meningitis B (MenB) vaccination. Meningitis is a life-threatening illness that is caused by bacteria that infect the blood, brain, or spinal cord. It is easily spread in crowded settings such as college dormitories, locker rooms, or kissing an infected person. You can catch meningitis from a person who looks healthy. There are two types of Meningococcal vaccine that protect against several strains of this disease: Meningitis ACWY and Meningitis B. “If your child hasn’t gotten their MenACWY and MenB shots previously, ask their doctor or nurse about getting these shots now,” states Melissa Propp, RN, Public Health Nurse. “Meningococcal disease is rare but does occur in the United States, most frequently in college settings.” Symptoms of meningitis most commonly are fever, headache, and stiff neck, similar to flu-like symptoms. Some people may also have nausea, vomiting, confusion, or sensitivity to light.
