Clinical Overview: Meningococcal Disease
• Infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis1
—Serotypes A, B, C, Y, and W-135 cause majority of meningococcal disease cases worldwide2
—Leading cause of bacterial meningitis among US toddlers, children and adolescents
• Serotypes B, C, and Y most common in US2
• Meningococcal disease can cause meningitis (swelling of the brain or spinal cord) or meningococcemia (blood infection)3
• Vaccination is safe and effective and the best way to help prevent the disease among adolescents3

• Approximately 1000 to 2600 Americans get meningococcal disease annually1
— The disease rates peak at 15-19 years of age2
• When meningococcal disease occurs the consequences can be devastating1
— Fast progressing…can take a life in just a single day3
— Teens are up to 5 times more likely to die than other age groups2
— Among survivors, 1 in 5 will suffer permanent complications• Amputation, hearing loss, neurological damage, and organ failure1,4
• Early symptoms can resemble the flu, making diagnosis difficult— Symptoms include fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea and vomiting,
and rash5-6

Slide 5
Clinical Overview: Meningococcal Disease
• Spread from person to person through close, personal contact and exchange of respiratory secretions1
• Common everyday activities can put adolescents at increased risk for infection; these activities or risks include:1-2
— Sharing drinking glasses and eating utensils
— Kissing
— Living in close quarters
— Smoking (or being exposed to smoke)
• Meningococcal disease can occur at any point during the year — Late-winter and early-spring are when most cases occur3

Slide 6
Clinical Overview: Meningococcal Disease
• Once diagnosed with meningococcal disease, early antibiotic treatment is critical1
—Even with treatment, meningococcal disease can kill an otherwise healthy young person1-2
• Close contacts should also receive preventive antibiotics1
—Family members, close friends

Slide 7
Vaccination – The Best Protection
• Vaccination continues to be the best way to prevent meningococcal disease—Helps protect against 4 of the 5 primary serotypes (A, C, Y, and W-
135)1
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine vaccination for:2-3
—Adolescents 11-18 years of age—College freshmen living in dormitories—Children 2 through 10 years of age at increased risk—Anyone 2 through 10 years of age if elected by parent or health-care
provider

Slide 8
Vaccination Rates Alarmingly Low
• In 2008, only 41.8% of teens 13-17 years of age received the recommended meningococcal vaccine1 —Far from the CDC’s goal of a 90% immunization rate2
• Florida has a 33.6% rate of meningococcal vaccination among adolescents 13-17 years of age

Why Aren’t More Teens Getting Vaccinated?1-3
• Many parents and students still unaware of disease, vaccine
• Fewer health maintenance visits
• Missed immunization opportunities
• Lack of population-based immunization registries that include adolescents
• Low public awareness about adolescent immunization coverage, recommendations, and available vaccinations
• Misperceptions about vaccine safety
