Bacterial Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that is typically caused by bacterial infection and can spread quickly in large crowds of people, which is why the State of Texas requires all students under the age of 22 to be vaccinated against Bacterial Meningitis to attend any higher education institution in Texas. Before you start your first semester, you need to submit your Bacterial Meningitis record. Vaccination must be administered at least 10 days before the start of the semester and no more than 5 years old.
