Meningococcal Meningitis
is a serious and sometimes fatal disease which affects the brain
and spinal cord. This disease continues to increase on college
campuses. There is a safe and effective vaccine which provides
protection against 4 of the 5 types of Meningitis. The
Commonwealth of Virginia requires vaccination against
meningococcal disease or a signed waiver for all incoming
full-time students at Virginia Tech and other public four-year
institutions of higher education. Vaccination must be received
and documentation provided prior to enrollment at Virginia Tech.

Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection that can cause severe liver damage
and can lead to death. Hepatitis B is an infection that is
passed through blood and body fluids (sexual contact, sharing of
needles or razors, tattooing or piercing, contact sports).
According to the CDC statistics, every year in the United States
approximately 240,000 people are infected with hepatitis B and
there are approximately 0.75 to 1.0 million chronic carriers of
hepatitis B virus in the United States, one third of who do not
know the source of their infection. The CDC also states that in
some settings, the hepatitis B virus can be up to 100 times more
contagious than the AIDS virus.
