Meningitis Shot The meningitis vaccine protects against meningococcal disease, which is a serious bacterial illness. Many colleges and boarding schools require it to protect students living in dorms. As an UB student, you are required to show Eva Silvia proof that you have received this shot.
If you have insurance it is highly recommended that you go to your doctor to get the shot. This would be the cheapest way for you.
If you do not have insurance you have options. You can go to the Denton County Public Health Department, CVS, or Walgreens to get the meningitis shot. However, CVS and Walgreens is pretty expensive - $75 - $150, so we recommend the Public Health Department. It will be a little wait but extremely worth it.
|
Documentation If you have already gotten your shot all you will need to do is bring a copy of your shot record to UB. Eva Silvia will look over and make sure everything is okay. This document will then be sent to the colleges you applied for.

 | Solve the Riddle/Puzzle A woman is sitting in her hotel room when there is a knock at the door. She opened the door to see a man whom she had never seen before. He said, "oh I'm sorry, I have made a mistake, I thought this was my room." He then went down the corridor and in the elevator. The woman went back into her room and phoned security. What made the woman so suspicious of the man?
