Here’s a map of all the facilities in the U.S. that received some of the related injections:

No facility in Oklahoma is currently on the list. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,
Jaclyn

Thanks for your comment. Have you spoke with your state health department? They would likely have more information about the outbreak in Florida.
Thanks for your time,
Jaclyn

I got a steorid injection in the back in Florida in March 2012. In June I was admitted to the hospital after going to the emergency room for a severe headache and fever. I was diagnosed with meningitis although they could not determine which kind or where it came from as there were no other cases in Orlando. I’m looking for answers and so far, I’ve just been told I’m unlucky. I’ll get to the bottom it. I’ve called the CDC and asked them to widen their investigation. This is bigger than authorities may be telling us.

Please check Comanche Hospital in Lawton, Oklahoma for a Wallace McLoyd Jr who was admitted March 21, 2012. He was given a steriod shot on March 14, 2012 and fell deathly ill on March 21st. They had NO clue to what was wrong with him, so they shipped him to OU Medical Center on March 23rd. He almost died. Someone please check the emergency room records at Comanche in Lawton on March 14 & see that he did received a steriod shot. The Doctors kept asking me if my Husband was a drug user, because they did not know how he got meningitis. I told them NO, he was a retired Lt.Col in the army & that he did recieved a steriod shot a week ago, but at that time they just blew me off. We have contacted Comanche Hospital, but no one will return our calls. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE LISTEN!!!
