By the way, the opening post is very misleading. The girl did not "react badly" to the meningitis vaccine. She didn't get the vaccine at all, and hence got infected.
| quote: | The doctor’s words hit Ashley’s stepmom with a sickening thud. Sam Lee had taken her daughter to the doctor just six weeks earlier to get vaccinated against this very disease before sending her off to college. The doctor didn’t have it in stock right then. It’s such a rare disease, though, he had said, that Ashley could just get the shot once she got to campus.
...During her first weeks of college in 2005, Ashley was too busy with new friends and a full class schedule to seek out the vaccine, and it didn’t seem like a big deal anyway. |
