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.
