Haemophilus influenzae received its name in 1920, to acknowledge its historical association with influenza. The viral cause of influenza was not discovered until 1933. College students who live in on-campus housing appear to be at slightly increased risk of meningococcal disease compared to persons of the same age who live off campus. Neither ACIP nor the AAP recommends that college students be routinely given meningococcal vaccine. However, they recommend that clinicians inform and educate students and parents about the risk of meningococcal disease and the existence of a safe and effective vaccine and immunize students at their request or if educational institutions require it for admission.
Meningococcal vaccine is safe and effective against the serogroups included in the vaccine.

I have a patient who got his first dose of Lyme disease vaccine in July, but didn't return for the second dose until November. The third dose of Lyme vaccine should be given 12 months after the first dose. May be recovering from acute HBV infection.
