Aurora offers meningitis vaccinations before start of school

MILWAUKEE In observance of National Immunization Awareness Month, Aurora Health Care is offering meningitis vaccinations for children at its Aurora QuickCare clinics, Aurora announced Wednesday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends meningitis vaccinations for adolescents, college freshman living in dormitories and adults up to age 55.

“This is a great time to offer meningitis immunizations,” Aurora QuickCare nurse practitioner Janet Teske said. “Students can get it taken care of before the hustle and bustle of the school year begins, although we do offer vaccinations all year.”
