Government mandated vaccinations scare the daylights out of me.

Yes, me too! My daughter is being asked by University of Illinois to receive the meningitis shot. Does anyone know anything about that one? They are also requesting they get the influenza vaccination, but they do not mention swine flu. So far, these are both "requests."

My daughter is being asked by University of Illinois to receive the meningitis shot. Does anyone know anything about that one?

Yes, I do. Absolutely the right thing to immunize her against. It's safe and highly effective in preventing meningitis caused by a bacteria. Infections with this organism can spread like wildfire among college-age and military recruits and cause significant illness, disability, or death.
