Meningococcal disease

After seven gay and bisexual men have died in the state in the past six months. As LGBTQ pride events continue throughout the month, the CDC is urging people to get vaccinated against meningococcal disease.

Six men in the county have been diagnosed with meningitis this year, and three men in their 30s have died from the illness. It's the most cases the area has seen in five years.

The state Department of Health advised vaccinations for college students, gay men, people with HIV and immunocompromised individuals.
