Prevention of generalized forms of meningococcal infection caused by meningococcus serogroup A, in children from 1 year, adolescents and adults.
Vaccination is recommended in endemic regions, as well as in the case of an epidemic caused by group A meningococci.
Vaccine prophylaxis is carried out by all contact persons in the centers of meningococcal infection (cohabiting family members, persons of institutions where there is cohabitation, pupils and personnel of preschool institutions, persons who have established contact with nasopharyngeal secrets of the patient).
When a meningococcal epidemic is threatened with an epidemic, the vaccine is primarily indicated for people at increased risk of infection (children from 1.5 years to 8 years old, first-year students of secondary and higher education institutions, as well as persons from different territories of the Russian Federation, countries near and far abroad and united by living together in hostels).
When the morbidity rate rises (over 20 per 100,000 population), vaccination of the population with a coverage of at least 85% is recommended.
