Oklahoma law encourages students to get meningitis vaccinations.
2004 JUN 11 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- First-time dormitory students in Oklahoma this fall will be warned of the risks of meningitis and encouraged to get a vaccination for the dangerous disease.
State legislation approved last year says students who decide not to get the shots, which cost between $60 and $100, must sign a waiver.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the membrane that surrounds the brain. Left untreated, it can cause seizures, coma, lasting disability and even death.
The legislation was pushed for last year by pharmaceutical companies.
"Vaccine companies were the instigator," said Michael Crutcher, MD, state commissioner of health. "Vaccine companies look for ways to promote their products." Yet he agreed the law has benefits.
