Colleges and universities require a second dose of the Meningitis (MCV4) vaccine that is received on or after the 16th birthday, since the first dose is only effective for five years. You may also want to discuss the Meningitis B vaccine with your doctor. That is a newer vaccine that is available to children ages 16-18, and it protects against an additional strain of the meningococcal virus.
