J. Deguzman, a normal college student, tells us his survival story. A vaccine may have prevented this serious illness and the amputation of his fingers and feet.
MCV4 is highly recommended for adolescents, especially college students that live in dorms.

  • That's true. But the Hib and Meningococcal vaccines can prevent 4 types of meningococcal disease, including 2 of the 3 types most common in the U.S. (serogroup C, Y, and W-135) and a type that causes epidemics in Africa (serogroup A). MCV4 may have prevented this normal college student from losing his feet and fingers.
