That's so horrible. Gphi and Tigergirl you're both so lucky! I had no idea meningitis was this common. And seeing how it spreads more so in dorms and other collegiate housing, you'd think there would be much more said about it. We get the usual e-mail around September urging us to get a shot. But it's $75 and not everyone has that (or insurance). There should be some sort of initiative to fund meningitis shots for students (hey watch me go on my public health soapbox...see the parenting thread for more laughs).
