Meningococcal disease is a serious illness caused by bacterial infection.
Anyone can get meningococcal disease but it is most common in very young children and in people with certain medical conditions. The vaccine protects against several of the disease subtypes, but it does not confer 100 percent protection. New students who have arrived on campus without satisfying all pre-matriculation health requirements can take care of the missing immunizations at Prematriculation Vaccine Clinics at Dick's House. Pre-matriculation Vaccine Clinics are open to all new students needing them. Dartmouth College requires incoming students to have immunity to certain diseases, such as measles, mumps, rubella, and tetanus-diphtheria, and satisfy TB screening criteria.
