ABSTRACT
Meningococcal disease is a serious clinical condition of the patient leading to devastating results, with high public health impact.
Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) is a Gram-negative diplococcus with at least 12 capsular serologically distinct groups
(serogroups). In Latin America the incidence of the disease varies in Mexico yet officially reported about 80 cases per year, the
largest number of cases are concentrated in children under 5 years, especially in the 1 year old. In Mexico there’re meningococcal
conjugate vaccine and quadrivalent conjugate meningococcal vaccine. Children should be vaccinated before one year of
age with two or three doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, with this background can be applied meningococcal conjugate
vaccine. In children aged 2-6 years should be given a booster every three years after the initial vaccination in case of attending
to risk areas, because the concentrations of bactericidal antibodies against serogroups contained in the vaccine after this time
will decrease. For adolescents aged 11 or 12 years, with a booster dose at age 16 years. ACIP.
