Purely an FYI moment:
ABC7Chicago.com: Free meningitis inoculations offered in Chicago neighborhood: The Chicago Department of Health has begun offering free inoculations against bacterial meningitis to gay and bisexual men on the city's North Side. The free vaccinations began Sunday in response to a recent cluster of meningitis cases which has caused three deaths since Wednesday. Dr. John Wilhelm, the city's health commissioner, said laboratory test results received earlier Sunday confirmed that four of the six cases reported so far were from a bacterial strain for which there is an effective vaccine. The health department has ordered 7,500 doses of the vaccine, at a cost of $50 per dose, and is prepared to obtain more, officials said.
From what I've seen, one of the innoculation locations is on north Halsted near Buckingham, next to Sidetracks.
