Limitations

Under – ascertainment could have lead to underestimate the true burden of the disease as passive routine surveillance systems are prone to under reporting

Case ascertainment may vary considerably between countries: e.g. surveillance system may collect information only on certain clinical presentation, different case definition are applied

Non-differential misclassification may concern clinical presentations and vaccination status as information is not always available when a case is reported by laboratories

Non-differential misclassification of vaccination status may occur as data are not generally reconciled with vaccination registries

Conclusions I

Rare disease but 76 542 cases reported 1999- 2011

A decreasing trend of IMD is observed

MCC vaccine were introduce in several EU\EEA countries likely to be related to the reduction of IMD due to serogroup C

A decreasing trend is observed for serogroup B

The burden of IMD due to serogroup Y is increasing over time

Children below 1 year of age are the most affected

Conclusion II

In 2011

– 4 502 cases

– The highest proportion of cases due to serogroup B

– 11% of cases, due to serogroup C, could have been prevented by vaccination (assuming vaccine effectiveness 80%)

– 40% affected by meningitidis

– 343 deaths

Conclusions III

Surveillance at EU level need to be strengthened in order to monitor serogroup replacement and emergence of new virulent strains

More accurate information need to be collected in MS to estimate the number of cases among vaccinated individuals (n. of vaccine failures)
