چکیده

invasive meningococcal disease (imd) is a severe bacterial infectious disease with high mortality and morbidity rates worldwide. in recent years, industrialised countries have implemented vaccines targeting imd in their national immunisation programmes (nips). in 2002, the netherlands successfully implemented a single dose of meningococcal serogroup c conjugate vaccine at the age of 14 months and performed a single catch-up for children ≤18 years of age. since then the disease disappeared in vaccinated individuals. furthermore, herd protection was induced, leading to a significant imd reduction in non-vaccinated individuals. however, previous studies revealed that the current programmatic immunisation strategy was insufficient to protect the population in the foreseeable future. in addition, vaccines that provide protection against additional serogroups are now available. this paper describes to what extent the current strategy to prevent imd in the netherlands is still sufficient, taking into account the burden of disease and the latest scientific knowledge related to imd and its prevention. in particular, primary menc immunisation seems not to provide long-term protection, indicating a risk for possible recurrence of the disease. this can be combatted by implementing a menc or menacwy adolescent booster vaccine. additional health benefits can be achieved by replacing the primary menc by a menacwy vaccine. by implementation of a recently licensed menb vaccine for infants in the nip, the greatest burden of disease would be targeted. this paper shows that optimisation of the immunisation strategy targeting imd in the netherlands should be considered and contributes to create awareness concerning prevention optimisation in other countries.

Distribution of Bexsero® Antigen Sequence Types (BASTs) in invasive meningococcal disease isolates: Implications for immunisation

Serogroup B is the only major disease-associated capsular group of Neisseria meningitidis for which no protein-polysaccharide conjugate vaccine is available. This has led to the development of multi-component protein-based vaccines that target serogroup B invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), including Bexsero®, which was implemented for UK infants in 2015, and Trumenba®. Given the diversity of...

Reduction in invasive meningococcal disease in Queensland: a success for immunisation.

Since 2003, the Australian government has funded a conjugate serogroup C meningococcal vaccine for those aged over 1 year and born since 1 January 1984. This summary of the epidemiology of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in Queensland assesses the effect that the vaccination program has had on IMD notifications. In Queensland, IMD cases are notified to the Notifiable Conditions System by c...
