A member asked:

Is it safe to take plan b before getting a menigitis shot?

Dr. John Paas answered

Yes: There are two Meningococcal vaccines available, and it is recommended to use the mpsv4 version in pregnancy. Thus, if you are uncertain whether you are pregnant that is the preferred vaccine. Regardless, if you have had recent unprotected sex (less than 72 hours ago), Plan B is safe to use and will not interfere, or be rendered ineffective by, the vaccine.
