21 Now Dead From Meningitis

The meningitis death toll has risen to twenty-one, with 268 confirmed cases of the deadly brain disease, and an additional three in hospitals due to related joint infections.

All of the meningitis cases came from contaminated anti inflammation shots that were put into the spine, the joint infections came from the same shots that were injected elsewhere.

Seventy-six locations, in twenty-three states, were sent the shots, which were given to as many as fourteen thousand people.

New England Compounding Center made the shots, and has complied completely with government officials who are conducting the investigation.

Investigators are worried that at least two other drugs, made by NECC, may have also been contaminated.
