PRINCETON — Princeton University is getting ready to administer the first doses of a vaccine against meningitis.

The Ivy League school has experienced an outbreak of type B meningococcal disease, which is sometimes life-threatening.

The vaccine for that particular strain is only licensed for use in Europe and Australia but not in the U.S.  

The Food and Drug Administration is allowing for its limited use at Princeton.

University officials say the vaccine will be made available on campus from Dec. 9 through 12, to nearly 6,000 students. The second dose will be administered in February.

Since March seven Princeton students and one student visitor have been stricken by the bacterial illness.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that students living in dorms and certain employees receive the new vaccine.

  1. Well these are supposed to be the next generation of smart kids so let’s see how many are awake… I wonder if they will release the statistics on how many go for it… I wonder if this is a government test to take a sample of how many of the next generation are awake to the tyranny we are all living under… Let’s see!!!

      1. If they kick out people who refuse, that info will surely spread like wild fire and help expose the tyranny! What gets me is if they are supposedly vaccinated, then what risk is there to them? Unless it is all one big lie! They push the vaccines to protect, ‘they say’ and yet in Australia they prevent non-vaccinated/non-poisoned from attending day care. I fail to see their sick logic unless there is another reason which WE know there is but it should help highlight that fact to the sheep! The rates of cancer sky rocketing and people do not look at what factors in out lives have increased in sync with those rates… One factor in sync is the vaccines, yet there are many more such as the contaminated food supply or the background radiation due to testing and Fukushima etc etc… Whatever the government pushes, that is what we should most avoid. To the half intelligent, that fact should be obvious! God bless us all…
