| Description: |
A meningitis epidemic in Niger has infected well over five thousand people and killed more than 350. The outbreak now underway in Niger is caused by the C strain of bacteria, which is not generally common in the region. In fact, much of the population of Niamey was vaccinated for the A strain in 2010. No vaccine is currently available in Niger for the C strain. [Source: Voice of America]
