Not required: meningitis vaccine isn't a requirement, unless certain populations/ conditions, eg exposure, certain immunodeficiency states, check with your local health authority if you wish, and also check this link http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/downloads/parent-ver-sch-0-6yrs.pdf

Doubt this is true: Your 5 yo likely had several doses of the HIB vaccine starting at 2 months. Hemophyllis meningitis used to be 80-90% of all infant & toddler meningitis. She also had the pneumococcal vaccine at the same time.It accounted for some. The meningococcal vaccine is usually given in the pre-teen & teen years when it is effective against the strains that cause the disease.
