The outbreak of the non-contagious fungal meningitis has been linked to steroid injections from the Massachusetts-based New England Compounding Center, which recalled the product on Sept. 26.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said the period of greatest risk for the development of fungal meningitis is during the first six weeks, or 42 days, after receiving the injection.
