Statistical Numbers of Deaths from Bacterial Meningitis Post CI Surgeries?

[Oceanbreeze]

That's from a 2003 report, I'd be interested to see what an more recent report shows now, say from 2008 perhaps? Anyone have something like that?

Here's something from the Center of Disease Control from 2007.

Most of the report is reporting from 2002 and 2003, nothing more recent in addition to that. :-/

I'm sorry, Yiz. That is from 2007. I don't think you're going to find anything more recent then that. At any rate, these are the guidelines CI centers go by currently. If you are vaccinated per these guidelines, the risk of meningitis is extremely low. So, I hope you accept this.

Okay I see that the report is dated June 4, 2007 (originally published October 2002) I wonder what was the updates were in the report since then.
