  "When the last meningitis issue came up, there was sort of a panic," said Deborah Williams-Roberts, director of the Wellness Center.
  
  Williams-Roberts said it has calmed down drastically, with about 20 staff and students total coming in for shots.Each shot costs $75 and must be ordered in advance.
  
  "We still continue to have the vaccine available if students request it.We distributed literature encouraging staff and students to get the vaccine.We have more parents of freshmen who call with concerns than the students."
  
  Neighbors, a senior, said she didn't get the shot.But she doesn't have a problem with it being required by law.

  Doctors can now assist via the Web - [Cached Version]

  One advantage we have here is we have good one-on-one interaction with students , said Deborah Williams-Roberts , Wellness Center director.If a student has a concern , we assist in making contact with the doctor..
  
  She hadn't heard of the Web service but saw both benefits and drawbacks.
  
  We certainly would encourage it , she said.I question whether a lot of physicians will be open to getting e-mail and faxes from a lot of young people , and whether they will be able to respond one-on-one when you can barely get a physician on the telephone.It sounds wonderful , and it would be great if it works..

  Meningitis vaccines urged for freshmen living in dorms - [Cached Version]
  Published on: 9/4/2001    Last Visited: 9/4/2001  

  Kettering Wellness Center Director Deborah Williams-Roberts said requiring students to have the vaccination would cause supply and demand problems for most schools.
  
  There's been a shortage recently - problems with the vaccination being unavailable , Williams-Roberts said.We've strongly recommended students get the vaccination and had numerous freshmen requests for it.We're only able to distribute it in bulks of 10.The shelf life is only 10 days and it's expensive.That creates a problem if you don't have the demand..
  
  Each shot costs about $70 and must be ordered in advance , compared to doctors fees that go as high as $150.
  ...
  Williams-Roberts said even some health departments have steered students and parents to the school for the shot when they were in short supply.
  
  We need to be careful setting ourselves up to require something we can't guarantee , she said.
  
  Baker College has also opted not to require the vaccination for its freshmen students.Its dormitory houses about 180 students.
  
  ...
  Williams-Roberts said that gives further weight to the argument against requiring the vaccination at this time.
  
  Of concern are the Kettering students who live off campus in fraternity houses or private apartments and rental houses surrounding the west Flint campus - areas that can not be controlled by the university as well as the residence halls.
  
  Given how the virus is contracted you have just as high incident of upper class students who go to parties and live in fraternity houses and have same level of contact freshmen do , she said.There's no indication that upperclassmen were building a resistance.We were concerned with them being given false notion that they may not be at risk , and not taking precautions..
  
  So far 12 students at Kettering have requested and received the vaccination.Four are pending.
  
  ...
  We've had a number of phone calls for students coming in October and we're encouraging them to get one before they get here , Williams-Roberts said.
