For those of you with kids who are in college or approaching college age, keep an eye on the meningitis vaccine.  Apparently, some recipients of the vaccine are showing symptoms of Guillain Barre syndrome, and it is not known whether the cases are linked to the vaccine or not.  The Food and Drug Administration has not changed the recommendation for students in high-density living situations to receive the vaccine, but this warning is being issued to the public as a precaution. 

The FDA is investigating the cases as reported on Yahoo!, because although the incidence rate is approximately normal, the timing of the cases is concerning them a bit.  So, just make sure you keep in contact with your college student if they have had the vaccine in case this is more than a coincidence.
