Meningococcal Disease: Distribution by Serogroup. Brazil, 1990 - 2014
ST-103cc
Brazil started MenC conjugate vaccination of all children <2 years of age in 2010.
• Infant immunisation (3 and 5 months) with booster dose at 12 months.
• Children between 12 and 23 months: 1 dose• No catch up campaign in older age groups

Epidemiology of Meningococcal Disease in Argentina.
Servicio Bacteriología Clínica. INEI-ANLIS C.G. Malbrán /SIREVA 2015
Incidence rates of MD, Argentina, 2006-2014
in 2006, there were only four invasive MenW isolates detected in Argentina, increasing to 63 in 2010, 73 in 2011 and 96 isolates in 2012
Age group distribution of MD cases. Argentina.• Only 6% of the MenB cases occurred
in adults older than 30 years of age vs. 21% of the MenW cases.
Debbag R et al . ESPID, 2015
Epidemiology analysis of MD in Argentina. 2012 - 2014
• 848 cases. Incidence rate of 0.7 /100,000 hab.• 43.3% (368) < 2 years, 78.8% < 1 year.• I.R. in infants: 14.7/100.000; 1-4 y: 2.8/100,000. • serogroup W 50% and serogroup B 41%.• Argentina decided to implement ACWY-CRM
vaccine in infants (3,5 and 15 months). Adolescents with 11 years will receive one dose
Rancano C et al. SADI, 2015
Incidence rates and CFR of Meningococcal Disease in Chile. 1990-2012
Increased incidence of MD in 2012 (from 0.4 to 0.8), associated to emergence of serogroup W (3 cases in 2010, 20 in 2012 and 60 in 2012).

Reactive MenW Immunisation action in Chile
http://epi.minsal.cl/epi/html/bolets/reportes/Meningitis/meningitis.pdf
• An immunisation campaign started in 2012 with the tetravalent conjugate vaccine (Men ACWY), initially targeting children aged 9 months to < 5 years.
• 9 m to < 2 y: 2 doses (MenACWY-DT) and > 2 y: 1 dose (MenACWY-CRM).
• Approximately 1 million children vaccinated (Coverage >95%).
• From 2014: 1 dose (MenACWY-TT) in toddlers at 12 months.

What do you, in UK, have to do with the South-American situation?
Jay Lucidarme et al. Journal of Infection 2015An expanding South American/UK MenW strain was distinct from the ‘Hajj outbreak’ strain.
Mustapha M et al. Ebio Medicine, 2015:These data also demonstrate the co-circulation of W ST-11 strains in South America, UK and other regions that are phylogenetically and antigenically distinct from the Hajj clone

Laboratory-confirmed cases of invasive meningococcal disease by capsular group in UK, 2000 – 2014.
Ladhani S et al. CID, 2015
• A quarter of cases occurred in children aged <5 years, and half the cases in adults aged ≥45 years.
• 49% of the cases presenting with septicemia• CFR of 13%
26
UK decision
• In the light of the rapidly increasing W (cc11) disease from 2009/10 to 2014/15, ACWY conjugate vaccine will be used from August 2015 in 14-18 years teenagers and university freshers and is intended to induce herd protection.
27
• A hypervirulent MenW cc11 strain that became endemic in South America is now expanding in UK
• The experience in Chile showed that no early impact was observed in unvaccinated age groups with the reactive ACWY vaccination program including only young children.
• We have to acknowledge that unlike serogroups A, C and Y we do not have available data showing impact of serogroup W conjugate vacines on carriage to predict the magnitude of indirect effects of vaccination programs.
Key Points

The South American-UK connection is now elucidated!
