Abstract

Meningococcal disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This activity will describe how to deal with this disease as a serious problem. It will also illustrate the importance of meningococcal vaccination and how it enhances immunological memory and reduces nasopharyngeal carriers (who represent the primary source of meningococcal infections ), leading to herd immunity. Then, we will mention the risk factors, individuals at high risk, ways of vaccine administration, doses, indications, and contraindications.
