Meningococcal disease is rare. But when it happens, it can turn serious fast.

It can lead to meningitis or a bloodstream infection. In some cases, it can become life-threatening in as little as 24 hours.

College students who live in group settings are at higher risk. That includes residence halls, shared apartments, and close social circles.

Common symptoms can include:
• High fever
• Stiff neck
• Headache
• Vomiting
• Extreme tiredness
• A purplish rash

Staying up to date on meningococcal vaccines is one of the best ways to protect yourself. You may need more than one type of vaccine for full protection.

Questions about your vaccine record?
Call SHCWS or send a secure message through your Patient Portal. We’re here to help you figure it out!

Measles cases are rising again in California and across the U.S. It spreads easily, even before symptoms show. It can also lead to serious complications.

The good news? The MMR vaccine is safe and highly effective. Two doses provide about 97% protection against measles.

👇Students:
• Check your MMR status in your Patient Portal
• Upload your vaccine record if you’re up to date
• Not sure if you’re protected or need a dose? Message us or schedule an appointment through your Patient Portal.

Protect yourself. Protect our Hive.
