About Meningitis
Bacterial meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress extremely quickly, within hours. It is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. The bacteria that causes meningitis can also infect the blood. Treatment for the disease is available, but severe health problems or disabilities are still possible.For more information on bacterial meningitis, including signs, symptoms and how it spreads, visit CDC Bacterial Meningitis.
Please Note:
Immunization consent forms must be completed and emailed to hsic@uta.edu prior to your appointment time. Students failing to do so will not be able to receive their immunization(s) at their scheduled time.
