Original Note:
Alexis has PNH which causes bruising such as seen in her posts. Tx for PNH is immune suppression, leaving patients very susceptible to certain bacteria. Vaccination prior to starting the treatment greatly lessens their chances of immediately catching various lethal infections. https://www.cdc.gov/meningococcal/hcp/clinical-guidance/complement-inhibitor.html
