Meningitis Vaccine Available Again at UHS

Central Michigan University Health Services (UHS) has received a new shipment of meningitis vaccine (Menactra™). The vaccine is available in the Primary Care Suite of University Health Services, Foust 202, Monday-Friday, 8:30 -11:30 a.m. and 1:30-4:30 p.m. An appointment is not required. There is a $102 charge for the vaccine, but payment is not required on the date of service. We bill insurances. (For students who are uninsured or have insurance that does not cover meningitis vaccine, the Central Michigan District Health Department may have the vaccine available for a modest administration fee for students who present proof that they qualify. Call 773-5921 for additional information.) The vaccine is strongly recommended for entering freshmen living in the residence halls and for any student who wants to avoid the rare but serious, rapidly progressive, and sometimes fatal disease. For additional information, call 774-6591.
