Definition
Programs that provide inoculations which prevent recipients from contracting meningococcal meningitis, a potentially life-threatening bacterial infection that causes inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Students living in on-campus housing at colleges and universities in some areas may be required to have proof of immunization prior to receiving residence hall entry. Some campus health centers provide meningitis vaccination clinics for their students.
