Chicago health alert

[jood]

This just came across my desk: There's a Meningitis cell centered in Boystown. If you know any gay men who are socially active (including smooching, drink-sharing, and even inhaling someone's infected sneeze), let them know the Chicago Department of Public Health is offering free vaccinations against meningitis.

They've identified six cases since the beginning of October, and three of those patients have died (a fourth is in critical condition).

More about it here and here.
