Abstract

These recommendations update information regarding the polysaccharide vaccine licensed in the United States for use against disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, as well as antimicrobial agents for chemoprophylaxis against meningococcal disease (superseding MMWR 1985;34:255-9). This report provides additional information regarding meningococcal vaccines and the addition of ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone as acceptable alternatives to rifampin for chemoprophylaxis in selected populations.
