DS (1) has his men c jab booked for 10.30 today. He had bacterial meningitis in the summer and has had the all clear. Will the jab be safe? Might it trigger another bout? I know nothing about this.

I dont know but surely he would have anti bodies as his body has fought the disease, all vaccines do is prompt the body to make anti-bodies and he already has these.
