I saw a note from Barchi about this. Rutgers is urging students in the dorms to be vaccinate against Meningitis B. An uncle of mine died in the 1930s of the disease, even though antibiotics have been developed, it still a dangerous disease. I hope everyone listens to Rutgers on this.

“While we cannot predict whether there will be additional cases of meningococcal disease on campus, having two cases occurring over a short time with genetically related organisms suggests that there is an outbreak associated with Rutgers University—New Brunswick,” the email stated.
