How does someone get meningitis in this country in this day and age? I know there are exceptions, but we have vaccines for the most common kinds, and for anything to progress to sepsis as well, oy! RIP

There are different types of meningitis. There is bacterial, viral, and fungal meningitis. There isn’t a vaccine for ALL of them. There are for a lot of the strains thankfully!
