I find it meaningful that not a single of my students spoken with thus far had even been informed that the vaccine was reccomended, nor were they aware of the increased risk for bacterial meningitis. And yes, these are adults, but all were implanted as children. However, as adults,t hey need to be ware of the implications, should they ever have to make a decisonregarding one of their own children. And adults can contract bacterial meningitis,as well.
What is meaningful, is the indication that the information is not being supplied to candidates or to their parents. And surgeons are continuing toperform surgery without proof that the vaccine has been given, and thus, are increasing the risk. That is very meaningful.
