University confirms third student with meningococcal disease
By Cameron Lane-Flehinger | Oct. 27, 2016Despite an aggressive vaccination campaign, meningococcal disease is believed to have spread to a third UW-Madison student, according to a Thursday release. The student, who is being treated at a local hospital, will receive further testing to confirm if the illness is related to the rare serogroup B that had infected two other students earlier this month. University Health Services is urging all undergraduates under the age of 25 to get vaccinated, and so far more than 12,000 students have received the vaccine since it became available last Thursday.
