The NDSU Student Health Service has planned a Meningitis Immunization Clinic on Tuesday, Sept. 29, from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., in the Memorial Union, Hidatsa room. The cost is $10 for NDSU freshmen and $107 for all other students. An NDSU ID is required and you can pay by cash, check or it can be billed to your student account. No appointments are necessary.
Meningitis immunization is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and by the American College Health Association for all incoming freshmen who will be living in residence halls and fraternity or sorority houses.
Young adults account for nearly 30 percent of all cases of meningitis in the U.S. This is due to lifestyle issues such as crowded living in residence halls, bar patronage, active or passive smoking and sharing of personal items. Students living in dorms are more susceptible than the general college population.
For more information, to obtain the minor consent form or if you can not attend the clinic and would like to schedule an appointment at a later date, contact NDSU Student Health Service at 1-7331.
