Free meningitis B vaccines are now being offered to all post-secondary students on Prince Edward Island. The province previously made students in residence eligible for free vaccinations, but that has been expanded after new cases were diagnosed in Ontario. "University-aged students are at a higher risk of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), with up to 10 per cent of IMD cases being fatal," Chief Public Health Office Dr. Heather Morrison said in an email to CBC News. "Due to recent awareness of two cases of meningococcal meningitis — both serotype B — in Ontario university students who did not reside in residence but participated in social activities, the decision was made to expand our program to all students attending university with the remaining supply of Men-B vaccine."

Having one of those occasions where the opening that I’m writing to set up a fic premise is turning into its own fic.

Me: I just need you to submit paperwork for Damian’s social security number and school registration, Dick, so he pops up on the social work radar. Just need the premise.

Also me: Dick and Talia are arguing constantly over filing government paperwork and co-parenting goals.

#neither Dick or Talia understand the American vaccine schedule #but Leslie isn’t willing to fake it #and Damian does not want to have to repeat all his vaccines #He’s probably vaccinated for smallpox and anthrax but not meningitis #also quite possibly he hasn’t had varicella yet which will shock Leslie

You would think the people doing this have never seen the permanent damage meningitis can do to a very small child.

 I know this is a wildly controversial opinion, but I don’t think parents should be allowed to permanently and deliberately harm their children.

its actually nuts how missing a single vaccination has shaped my entire fucking life. like not only would I not be deaf if I had gotten it on time but I probs wouldn't have adhd either 🫣

#like yeah I have a family history of adhd but im pretty sure the current model suggests u can be genetically *predisposed* but the actual- #development of adhd is thought to be closely linked to environmental 'triggers' like childhood stress or head injuries lol #or in my case brain trauma. fun fact: a suspected 62% of kids who survive hib meningitis later develop adhd symptoms #vs. 5% incidence in the general population..... #when I first heard that I was still in denial bc i thought of adhd as a 'natural' condition like ur just born that way #so if meningitis survivors displayed symptoms that didnt mean they were ACTUALLY adhd. except literally all adhd is- #is a collection of symptoms its not some tangible 'switch' thats flipped in some ppl and not others. maybe thats a rly obvious statement- #but I found it kinda hard to get my head around. i guess just bc of how a lot of psychology is viewed by the public innit #anyway being deaf + nd kinda fucking sucks yall better be jabbing ur babies with every vaccination possible or im coming for ur knees #its funny bc it sounds like im saying watch out !! vaccination may PREVENT neurodivergence NOT cause it !! #*andrew wakefield voice* u wouldnt want a child with autism #but thats not what i meaaaannn obvs ur kid not getting xyz disease that could kill them is the number 1 most important thing #its so cringe actually bc hib b incidence has been down to abt 2 in every 100 000 babies since the vax was introduced in 1985 #so I was one of like. probably less than 10 babies to get it in the fucking country and they misdiagnosed me a bunch of times #bc it was so uncommon + I had some rarer symptoms plus the only way to actually CHECK is to test spinal fluid which is a faff #if theyd realised earlier then i also wouldnt be deaf bc it wouldnt have been as severe. just a series of unfortunate events i guess #anyway. immunology is so fascinating i wish id focused on it more in my degree tbh #over and OUT #.diaries

[cliveguy]

i think im getting sick already 😭

#triple checked my meningitis vaccines but being careful jic... #weirdly i think its an ear infection ig stress messed w my immune system or something idk #it doesnt hurt yet just feels bad 😑😑 going to wait and see if it just goes away bc im not registered w a gp here yet #and i have an appt back home next week so i cant register until then

Menactra (meningococcal ACWY) protects against 70% of meningococcal strains. Meningococcal B vaccine protects against the other 30% of meningitis strains. I have a 17 y/o pt who is going to college in the fall and needs her 2nd Menactra vaccine and we gave meningococcal B as well.

have an appointment at 8:40am on Tuesday to get three different vaccines so I'm sure that's going to go great /s

#between my needle phobia and my tendency to get a giant painful bump on my arm after vaccines #I am going to be a mess #but it's a COVID booster a meningitis vax and a pneumonia vax #all of which are pretty important since I'm going to be around a lot of people at college and my immune system isn't what it was pre-covid

Meningococcal meningitis

Description:

Maybe you will meet him under the rotten spring sun. He talks and laughs happily, is kind and enthusiastic, making you ignore the scar on his forehead without knowing it.

[I am doing a small experiment, are you interested in helping? ] You who promised him, the last thing you remember is the name on the laboratory

Description (Traditional Chinese):

你成許會在爛的春陽下與他相遇 他談笑風生，親切而熱情，讓你不和不覺中忽略了他額上的傷疤 【我正在做個小實驗，你有興趣幫忙嗎？】 答應了他的你，最後記得的是實驗室上掛著的名字

Character: Epidemic Cerebrospinal Meningitis

Release: September 2021

Artist: Luo Peishan Quan Lo

Nickname: Epidemic Meningitis

Gender: Male

Height: 184cm

Weight: 68kg

Birthdate: 10/23 (Libra)

Personality: With a gentle appearance to cover up the madness of the experiment in his heart, only people with high vigilance can see that something is wrong in his mind. A human scientist who loves experiments to the point of obsession, specializing in brain mechanisms, and also has a lot of research in hematology. He likes to have one-on-one talks with the subjects before the human experiment begins, hoping to get to know them better. Contrary to the somewhat crazy appearance, he unexpectedly got along well with children, but it seems that some subjects never came out after entering his laboratory. . . .

Likes: All human beings, sunny spring, exercis, puzzle games of the brain

Dislikes: Rainy seasons, vaccines, antibiotics

Links: WHO, National Institues of Health, Mayoclinic

#Meningococcal meningitis #DISEASE #Taiwan CDC Magazine #gijinka #there are many forms of meningitis that are noted in some of the links #many of them have vaccines and in some areas are a required vaccination for some schools in order for you to properly enroll #with the rise in vaccines #there has been a decrease in the disease #the disease can spread through close contact #this is why a lot of colleges where people are in small spaces require vaccinations of certain types of meningitis #since it is the swelling of the brain and spinal cord it is likely the reason behind the design of the scar on the character's head #anyways. sorry for not being present for quite some time

turns out i need to get my childhood meningitis vaccines updated bc the public health clinics fucked up somehow, so since middle school we've all been floating along thinking i was fully immunized but now that records have been digitized it turns out i'm not 🙄

like i love getting vaccines but i wish i fucking knew i wasn't properly immunized sooner...

#i only know bc my dad noticed a discrepancy in my digital records #like i could have gone the rest of my life not knowing #i need updates to the 4 strain version (ACWY) #like at least meningitis b is fine bc i got that as an adult (had to pay for that shiz thank u student insurance for that ig) #at least while i was in school they didn't vaccinate for menb for some reason (oh it didn't get approved 'til i was 19) #personcole

Please please please any parents of teens or teenagers who see this, get your meningococcal vaccines. I had mine when I was 18 and they sucked and it hurt to move my arm for days but it's better than dying or passing something deadly on. Please, everyone, get your shots. It's incredibly important.

'Meningococcal disease includes meningitis -- infections of the lining of the brain and spinal cord -- and bloodstream infections.'

'The bacteria is spread through sharing respiratory or throat secretions, such as saliva or spit. It normally takes close or lengthy contact, for example kissing or being close to someone who is coughing, to spread the bacteria.'

Everyone can contract meningococcal. Every sex needs this vaccination. Do not skip it. The mortality rate is 7%.

"Meningococcal disease has two common outcomes – meningitis and bloodstream infection. These infections typically appear within 3 to 7 days after being exposed to the bacteria. Both of these conditions are very serious and can be deadly. In fatal cases, deaths can occur in as little as a few hours." -The CDC

Yes, shots suck. They're still important.
