CDC raises alarm: poor vaccine coverage fuels surge in meningococcal disease among HIV-infected individuals CDCMMWR vaccine coverage vaccinecoverage megingococcal HIV disease infection
By Neha MathurJun 19 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report , the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention presented preliminary data showing an increase in meningococcal disease among human immunodeficiency virus -infected individuals in the US in 2022.
The US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended the use of a quadrivalent, two-dose series of meningococcal conjugate vaccination for the HIV-infected population of the country. The Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System , with extra epidemiologic data and isolates retrieved through enhanced surveillance, reported all meningococcal disease cases in the US.
In 2022, this case number surged to 29, representing 9.8% of all cases in HIV-infected people annually; however, these cases might increase further when data reporting is complete. Of the remaining 14 cases unrelated to the outbreak, nine were due to a single N. meningitidis strain identified across three US states with no connections among all identified cases.
