A bacterial infection
Neisseria meningitidis
An unpredictable disease
98%

of cases are sporadic; fewer than 2% are related to outbreaks1
Typically occurs among previously healthy children and adolescents2
Approximately 2100-3400 cases occurred annually in the 1990s3
Approximately 370-1000 per year during 2009-20154,5

Outcomes Can Be Severe, Even with Treatment

Serious outcomes include meningitis (most

common clinical presentation) and meningococcemia (bloodstream infection)1
Death rate of 10%-15%, even with antibiotic therapy1

Death rate even higher (up to 40%) for patients who develop meningococcemia1
Up to 20% of people who survive meningococcal disease suffer lifelong disability2
Amputation of arms or legs, hearing loss, brain damage

Time Is of the Essence

Early symptoms are nonspecific
Fever, headache, nausea, vomiting,

loss of appetite
Mimic symptoms of common viral illnesses
Characteristic symptoms occur later
Hemorrhagic rash, neck stiffness, photophobia
Typically develop approximately 12-15 hours after symptoms begin1
Rapid progression
Death may occur within 24 hours of symptom onset1,2

Strongly Recommend Meningococcal Immunization

A health care provider’s recommendation to vaccinate is

a powerful motivator for patients to get immunized1
Reinforce your recommendation with an environment that is:
Enthusiastically pro-vaccine
Committed to fully vaccinating ALL eligible adolescent patients, regardless of whether they are college bound
Provide training, promote leadership
Educate staff on meningococcal disease
Keep them up-to-date on all ACIP vaccine recommendations
Make sure they are fully immunized themselves with the vaccinations they need
Consider designating a vaccine champion or team of champions

Focus on Key Points When Speaking with Patients

Meningococcal disease is rare

but potentially deadly for people your age
You are at increased risk from your mid-to-late teens into your early 20s
Disease can come on suddenly, without warning, and can quickly become life-threatening
The disease can result in severe, lifelong disability, such as hearing loss, amputation of arms or legs, and brain damage
Meningococcal vaccine is safe and effective
For routine vaccination, 2 doses are recommended

Vaccinate!

Follow ACIP recommendations for routine MCV4 immunization1
Give dose 1 at 11-12

years of age AND dose 2 at 16 years of age
Use every opportunity to provide the booster dose when indicated

Vaccinate! (cont.)

Follow ACIP guidance if dosing is delayed1:
If dose 1 is

given at 13-15 years of age, administer dose 2 at 16-18 years of age
Observe minimum interval of 8 weeks between doses
If dose 1 is given at ≥16 years of age,a dose 2 is not needed

a A catch-up dose may be administered through 21 years of age to those who have not received a dose after their 16th birthday (eg, first-year college students 19-21 years of age living in residence halls)

Capture Every Opportunity to Immunize

Consider every patient encounter an opportunity to

vaccinate with MCV4 and all other age-appropriate vaccines1-3
Well visits
Acute care and follow-up visits
Sports and camp physicals
Routine visits for chronic illnesses (eg, asthma)
Visits for influenza vaccines
Administer all indicated vaccines at the same visit2,3

Strengthen the Partnership Recognize that success at immunization is a partnership

Strengthen the Partnership

Recognize that success at immunization is a partnership between

the health care provider, the adolescent, and the family
Share your practice’s pro-immunization philosophy and policies with every patient and family from the time of their first visit
Develop a written vaccination policy you can share with families
Make vaccine education visible, accessible, and plentiful
Brochures, Vaccine Information Statements, posters, handouts for parents and teens, and website referrals
Designated staff members ready to provide vaccine information and answer questions
