Another deterrent to students thinking of getting vaccinated for meningitis is the vaccine's high cost.
Insurance companies do not cover the vaccine, which makes it very expensive. The actual cost varies between colleges. Harvard offers the vaccine for $77. By contrast, students at Yale can be vaccinated for $75, and at Dartmouth students only have to pay $40.
Rosenthal said Harvard provides the vaccine at "just a little bit" above cost and said UHS is not charging a relatively high price on purpose.
Rosenthal said he had not been aware that UHS charged a high price and questioned how other schools got the vaccine at such a low cost.
"We've actually recommended at Dartmouth that people get the vaccine," Turco said. "We've been sending out recommendations for the past three years."
