In response to outbreaks on college campuses, the American College Health Association has taken an increasingly proactive role in alerting college students and their parents to the risk of this disease and informing them about the availability of an effective vaccine. Recent epidemiologic studies have demonstrated an increased risk of disease in college students living in dormitories, particularly among freshmen, compared with similarly aged persons in the general population. At least 60% of these cases are potentially preventable by vaccination with the quadrivalent meningococcal A, C, Y, and W-135 polysaccharide vaccine. These findings support immunization of college students, particularly freshmen living in dormitories. Hence, college students and their parents should be informed by health care professionals at routine prematriculation visits and during college matriculation of the risk of meningococcal disease and potential benefits of immunization. Vaccine should be made available to those requesting immunization. College and university health services also should facilitate implementation of educational programs concerning meningococcal disease and availability of immunization services.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.106.6.1500","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,8,13]],"date-time":"2004-08-13T23:50:41Z","timestamp":1092441041000},"page":"1500-1504","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Meningococcal Disease Prevention and Control Strategies for Practice-Based Physicians (Addendum: Recommendations for College Students)"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"106","author":[{"name":"Committee on Infectious Diseases","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024072415105423500_B1"},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1894","DOI":"10.1086\/315158","article-title":"The changing epidemiology of meningococcal disease in the United States, 1992\u20131996.","volume":"180","author":"Rosenstein","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Infect Dis."},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1159","DOI":"10.1086\/520303","article-title":"Complications and sequelae of meningococcal disease in Quebec, Canada, 1990\u20131994.","volume":"26","author":"Erickson","year":"1998","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B4"},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"383","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1995.03520290035026","article-title":"Serogroup C meningococcal outbreaks in the United States.","volume":"273","author":"Jackson","year":"1995","journal-title":"JAMA."},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B6"},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B7"},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B8"},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1086\/520166","article-title":"Meningococcal disease in college students.","volume":"29","author":"Froeschle","year":"1999","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis."},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1906","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.281.20.1906","article-title":"Risk of meningococcal infection in college students.","volume":"281","author":"Harrison","year":"1999","journal-title":"JAMA."},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B11"},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"351","DOI":"10.1017\/S0950268899002368","article-title":"Invasive meningococcal disease among university undergraduates: association with universities providing relatively large amounts of catered hall accommodation.","volume":"122","author":"Neal","year":"1999","journal-title":"Epidemiol Infect."},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B13","first-page":"261","article-title":"Vaccination programme for group C meningococcal infection is launched.","volume":"9","author":"Public Heath Laboratory Service","year":"1999","journal-title":"Common Dis Rep Wkly."},{"key":"2024072415105423500_B14","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"417","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM197002192820803","article-title":"Prevention of meningococcal disease by group C polysaccharide vaccine","volume":"282","author":"Artenstein","year":"1970","journal-title":".
