- A study in Tongzi county looked at 266 kids from three junior high schools to see how infections spread and found different infection rates for various types of meningitis vaccines.
- Results showed some schools had low rates of one type of meningitis (MenC) but higher rates of others (MenA and MenB), suggesting that the vaccine may not be very effective for older kids over time.
