Kent’s #meningitis outbreak was years in the making – here’s why

The #students caught up in it belong to a generation that has never been routinely #vaccinated against the strain responsible.

That is not because a #vaccine doesn’t exist. It does. Bexsero, which protects against #meningococcal group B #disease has been available since 2013

The #UK even became the first country in the world to add it to its national #immunisation schedule, in September 2015.

But only for babies ...

Professor Lawler said he is concerned of low #immunisation rates leading to widespread harm and death, particularly in the wake of a recent surge in cases of #whoopingcough, #measles, respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV) and #meningococcal disease.

‘If we continue to see rising #vaccinehesitancy and dropping vaccination rates, we will see real harm coming to Australian children and communities,’ he said.

‘And when I say real harm, I’m including deaths in that.’ (2/3)

Recent #increase in #atypical presentations of invasive #meningococcal #disease in #France, BMC Infect Dis.: https://bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12879-024-09547-y

Non-meningeal forms of IMD increased significantly upon easing of #NPI, such as bacteremic meningococcal #pneumonia and bacteremic #abdominal forms. They represented 6% & 8% of all IMD forms and were significantly linked to serogroups Y and W respectively, to older adults for bacteremic pneumonia and to young adults for bacteremic abdominal presentations.

#US #CDC #HAN (Health Alert Network): Advisory: Increase in Invasive Serogroup Y #Meningococcal #Disease in the United States, https://emergency.cdc.gov/han/2024/han00505.asp?ACSTrackingID=USCDC_511-DM125473&ACSTrackingLabel=HAN%20505%20-%20General%20Public&deliveryName=USCDC_511-DM125473

HC providers'd 1) have a heightened suspicion for meningococcal disease, particularly among populations disproportionately affected by the current increase, 2) be aware that patients may present without symptoms typical of meningitis, and 3) ensure that all people recommended for vaccination, including people with HIV, are up to date for MENVAX.

So glad to see someone making use of 4CMenB to give limited protection against gonorrhea. I have access to two meningitis B vaccines, Trumenba and Bexsero. Since only Bexero has been shown to give this extra protection, it's the one I recommend.

Interesting move by JCVI. Roll out of targeted #vaccination against #mpox and #gonorrhea (the latter actually making use of cross protection by #meningococcal #vaccine)
