<p style=""><span style=""><strong><span style="color: #00826a;">Meningitis</span></strong> is a serious disease caused by bacteria that cause inflammation of the meninges, which is an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can also cause bloodstream infections. This disease can occur in anyone but is most common in infants under 1 year old and people aged 16-21 years. Children with health problems such as spleen disorders and students living in dormitories are at higher risk of contracting this disease than others.</span></p>
<p style=""><span style="">The meningitis vaccine can protect against 4 types of meningitis, including 2 of the 3 most common types found in the United States and the type that is epidemic in Africa. There are other types of meningitis that this vaccine does not cover.</span></p>

<p style=""><span style="">Vaccines, like other medicines, may cause problems such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of serious harm from this vaccine is very low.</span></p>
<p style=""><span style=""><strong><span style="color: #00826a;">Minor issues</span></strong>: About half of vaccine recipients experience some side effects such as redness and pain at the injection site. If these occur, they usually resolve on their own within 1 to 2 days.</span></p>
<p style=""><span style=""><strong><span style="color: #00826a;">Severe issues</span></strong>: Severe allergic reactions may occur suddenly within 2-3 minutes to 2-3 hours after vaccination, but this is very rare.</span></p>
