Overview:
In this episode, Dr. Mary Koslap-Petraco and Dr. Ruth Carrico will discuss the disease, the maze of meningococcal vaccines, ACIP recommendations, and the use of shared clinical decision-making. Meningococcal disease—a life-threatening infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis—demands our attention. It strikes swiftly, leaving devastation in its wake. Still, we have powerful tools at our disposal: MenACWY and MenB vaccines and now a new pentavalent vaccine that covers all these serogroups A, B, C, W, and Y, and it is a game-changer.
