It's yet another vaccination for Wyoming seventh-graders who would be vaccinated against bacterial meningitis under a bill written by high school students. The kids wrote the bill after hearing the story of a Colorado woman who died of the disease.
State Sen. Bill Landen, a Republican from Casper, planned to introduce the bill Tuesday, when the legislative session begins.
Only 3000 cases of bacterial meningitis are reported in teens each year with less than 10 percent being fatal.
