Yes, the meningitis vaccine is generally safe and effective. However, some reactions (e.g., soreness or redness at the injection site, mild fever) can happen with all vaccines. In addition, some precautions apply. Some vaccines are not recommended during pregnancy. Some are not safe to use if a person has a compromised immune system or certain health conditions. No vaccine protects 100% of susceptible individuals. For further information please see your physician for prescribing information.
