Campers take antibiotics after meningitis scare

In Pooler, three hundred children and adults are taking antibiotics to prevent bacterial meningitis after attending a summer day camp with a child thought to have the infection.

Officials say there is NO indication that the child got infected at the camp or that the illness was passed on to others.

But the YMCA, which hosted the camp, has been distributing a free two-day dose of antibiotics to people who attended the camp last week.
