title: [Meningococcal disease. new prevention strategies].
abstract: Because conjugate C meningococcal vaccines represent a significant advance in the prevention of meningococcal disease, currently accepted recommendations on vaccination should be revised. The health authorities are responsible for carrying out national surveillance programs and for evaluating the need for vaccination programs. These programs should target all groups at risk for this disease and should confer adequate and lasting protection in vaccinated children.
