PEI encourages postsecondary students to get free meningitis B vaccine

The Government of Prince Edward Island’s Chief Public Health Office is encouraging postsecondary students to get a free meningitis B vaccine before the Fall semester begins. “I’m hoping that more post-secondary students either attending post-secondary here or off-Island will get the vaccine and that we won’t see any devastating cases of meningitis B in any of our students,” said PEI Chief Public Health Officer Dr Heather Morrison. Students can receive the doses at Holland College, the University of Prince Edward Island, or at a public health nursing clinic.
