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 a greater potential risk of outbreaks for college-aged students due to a prevalence of risk factors that are often part of campus life.  These risk factors include residence hall living, active and passive smoking, bar patronage, and alcohol consumption.  As a preventative measure, Student Health Services recommends students check with their health care providers for further information about available vaccines or contact us at (870) 460-1051.
