An eighth Princeton University student was diagnosed this past Friday with meningitis. To me, this is terrifying. With a daughter getting ready to head off to college next year, this outbreak has my attention, as I expect it has many parents’ attention with college age children.

This latest reported student comes after the university announced that it had received permission to offer a vaccine that has not yet been approved by the FDA to stem the spread of the disease. The drug has been used overseas but is in the approval process here in the United States.

So, here is my question for you Gotham. What do you think of the offer of a yet to be approved vaccine to immunize Princeton students? Would you send your child to sign up if you had a Princeton student?
