I am writing to inform you about meningococcal disease, a potentially fatal bacterial infection commonly referred to as meningitis, and a new law in New York State. On July 22, 2003, Governor Pataki signed New York State Public Health Law (NYS PHL) §2167 requiring overnight children’s camps to distribute information about meningococcal disease and vaccination to the parents or guardians of all minors who attend the camp for seven or more nights. This law became effective on August 15, 2003. Camp Romimu is required to maintain a record of the following for each minor: ♦ A response to receipt of meningococcal meningitis disease and vaccine information signed by the minor’s ♦ Information on the availability and cost of meningococcal meningitis vaccine (Menomune™); AND ⇒ A record of meningococcal meningitis immunization within the past 10 years; OR ⇒ An acknowledgement of meningococcal meningitis disease risks and refusal of meningococcal meningitis immunization signed by the minor’s parent or guardian. Meningitis is rare. However, when it strikes, its flu‑like symptoms make diagnosis difficult. If not treated early, meningitis can lead to swelling of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal column as well as severe and permanent disabilities, such as hearing loss, brain damage, seizures, limb amputation and even death. Cases of meningitis among teens and young adults 15 to 24 years of age have more than doubled since 1991. The disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year and claims about 300 lives. A vaccine is available that protects against four types of the bacteria that cause meningitis in the United States ¾ types A, C, Y and W‑135. These types account for nearly two thirds of meningitis cases among teens and young adults. I encourage you to carefully review the enclosed materials. Please speak to your pediatrician to recommend whether your son(s) should be vaccinated. Information about the availability and cost of the vaccine can be obtained from your health care provider and by visiting the manufacturer’s website at www.meningitisvaccine.com. You can also find information about the disease at the New York State Department of Health website: WWW.HEALTH.STATE.NY.US, and the website of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): WWW.CDC.GOV/NCIDOD/DBMD/DISEASEINFO. Please check the appropriate response regarding meningococcal vaccination
on the medical form and return it the office before May 1st.

Meningococcal Disease
Information for Parents of Children at Residential Schools and Overnight Camps
What is meningococcal disease?
Meningococcal disease is a severe bacterial infection of the bloodstream or meninges (a thin lining covering the brain
and spinal cord).
Who gets meningococcal disease?
Anyone can get meningococcal disease, but it is more common in infants and children. For some college students, such
as freshmen living in dormitories, there is an increased risk of meningococcal disease. Between 100 and 125 cases of
meningococcal disease occur on college campuses every year in the United States; between 5 and 15 college students
die each year as result of infection. Currently, no data are available regarding whether children at overnight camps or
residential schools are at the same increased risk for disease. However, these children can be in settings similar to col-
lege freshmen living in dormitories. Other persons at increased risk include household contacts of a person known to
have had this disease, immunocompromised people, and people traveling to parts of the world where meningitis is
prevalent.
How is the germ meningococcus spread?
The meningococcus germ is spread by direct close contact with nose or throat discharges of an infected person. Many
people carry this particular germ in their nose and throat without any signs of illness, while others may develop serious
symptoms.
What are the symptoms?
High fever, headache, vomiting, stiff neck and a rash are symptoms of meningococcal disease. Among people who de-
velop meningococcal disease, 10-15% die, in spite of treatment with antibiotics. Of those who live, permanent brain
damage, hearing loss, kidney failure, loss of arms or legs, or chronic nervous system problems can occur.
How soon do the symptoms appear?
The symptoms may appear 2 to 10 days after exposure, but usually within 5 days.
What is the treatment for meningococcal disease?
Antibiotics, such as penicillin G or ceftriaxone, can be used to treat people with meningococcal disease.
Is there a vaccine to prevent meningococcal meningitis?
Yes, a safe and effective vaccine is available. The vaccine is 85% to 100% effective in preventing four kinds of bacte-
ria (serogroups A, C, Y, W-135) that cause about 70% of the disease in the United States.
Is the vaccine safe? Are there adverse side effects to the vaccine?
The vaccine is safe, with mild and infrequent side effects, such as redness and pain at the injection site lasting up to
two days.
What is the duration of protection from the vaccine?
After vaccination, immunity develops within 7 to 10 days and remains effective for approximately 3 to 5 years. As with
any vaccine, vaccination against meningitis may not protect 100% of all susceptible individuals.
How do I get more information about meningococcal disease and vaccination?
Contact your family physician or your student health service. Additional information is also available on the websites
of the New York State Department of Health, www.health.state.ny.us ; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
www.cdc.gov/ncid/dbmd/diseaseinfo; and the American College Health Association, www.acha.org .
