There is a new bacterial meningitis vaccine out. While it will not stop all strains or serogroups of the bacteria, it will significantly lower your chance of contracting the disease. If you are in your teenage years do me a favor and look into it.
For those of you who do not know I had bacterial meningitis a year and a half ago and trust me if you can lower your chance of contracting this disease, you need to. It royally sucks and I got off very, very lucky.
