Do most people in the US get a meningitis vaccination? I’m 46 and I’ve never had one. Do children typically get them these days?
Fortunately, a lemon-ginger-spinach smoothie (my usual at Smoothie King) completely recharged me...except for the soreness in my arm...lol.
Meningitis vaccines are now recommended at age 12 and 16, according to some recent TV ads I’ve seen. When our kids were headed off to college to live in the dorms, there was a recommendation then in 1999 & 2004.
There is a maningitis vaccine given the day of birth, which is a travesty. Babies have been through enough test day and they can’t handle that assault neurologically. Or shouldn’t have to.
And as you see, the vaccine is worthless. I’m sure the parents of this dead 4 month old baby were told that this vaccine at birth would prevent him getting meningitis.
Vaccine “science” is primitive. One day they will be able to test babies and know which ones should or could take a vaccine effectively and safely. You know, so that it works and also doesn’t harm their brains. We aren’t looking toward that much because vaccination has become one more emotional topic, as we see here. The vaccinated baby does from the disease he was vaxed against. And they blame the unvaccinated babies. How is that logical?
Maybe my kids got meningitis shots. My wife probably knows. I know I haven’t had that vaccination won’t get any more vaccinations unless there is a nationwide epidemic. Took a flu shot in ‘99 and have been sick from it ever since.
Yes. I made sure my son is up-to-date because he’s going off to college where there are many illegals.
I’m not ‘anti-vax’...but believe in “stair stepping” the mixed vax.
Have a relative who was anti...and kid ended up with meningitis and is almost deaf.
