Abstract
The serogroup B meningococcal outbreak at this large, public university disproportionately affected freshmen and students affiliated with Greek organizations. Despite low overall vaccination rates, the vaccination campaign did reach the populations at risk. In future outbreaks at large universities, we recommend focusing vaccination efforts on specific at-risk populations to maximize vaccination of those most at risk for this deadly disease.
