Is this true? In the Wiki webpage it says that there is no evidence that the two vaccines for meningitis offer more than a 3 year protection. Here's the link:

We don't vax, but I'm always trying to keep up with information and always reevaluating our decision. I've always thought the pneumonia and meningitis vaccines were dumb but after reading this why would anyone get these vaccines? I guess I can see if your child is in daycare when they're young, but the one the little kids can get is the Menomune vaccine and that's the worst, as far as protection, of the two.
I guess my question is my first sentence. Is that true? You can rely on 3 years protection and that's about it?
