Meningitis vaccine - to get or not to get - that is the question

[Guest guest]

My typical daughter is heading off to college in the fall and in order to live

on campus, she has to either take a religious exemption or receive the

meningitis vaccine. I asked her doctor to check her titres, but apparently

there is not a titre test for meningitis. I have been searching for side

effects and ingredients but I am still not sure which direction to go with her.

My husband keeps pointing out that if there is an outbreak, she won't be able to

live on campus during that time. Anyone have any experience with the meningitis

vaccine and reactions?

Thanks for any input.
