Hello

There's the regular meningitis vaccine (Menactra) at 16 or 17 and the meningitis B vaccine for college at 18 years.

They will receive the Men-B vaccine (there are two types). In my office, I use Bexsero, two doses one month apart, and will protect them against a very deadly and serious type of meningitis.
