My doctor recently recommended that I get the Meningitis shot before college especially since I'll be playing soccer. I've looked up some information on it and I understand it's not very common but it can be deadly and a lot of outbreaks occur in college because of such close contact with each other and because of the age group. My parents are a little iffy about me getting the shot because no one in my family has gotten it. I was wondering if it is worth it for me to get it and are there any bad or long-term side effects of the vaccine? And do a lot of college athletes get it?
Oh! And what are some statistics for college students being infected with it? I couldn't really find a number for that.
