Princeton Meningitis Vaccines debate

Princeton was debating on offering the school vaccines for meningitis due to the couple break outs that had occurred on campus. The vaccine targets meningitis type B and made by Novartis but not yet approved by the United States. It is a rare disease but had different side effects such as hearing impairment, light reaction, stiff neck, confusion, ect... and is a bacterial form. Scientists and officials are asking the question of why this outbreak is happening and how to stop it until the vaccine gets approved.
