From January to April 2012, 16 cases of W135 invasive meningococcal infection were reported in France. Of these, 8 were linked to a recent travel history to Sub Saharan Africa. These cases were reported in France concomitantly with the meningitis epidemic season in Sub-Saharan Africa. Considering the high number of travellers between France and West-African countries belonging to the so-called meningitis belt, the French recommendations for travellers stress the importance of vaccination before travelling to these countries.
Advice for Travellers
Quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine is available for those considered to be at risk; protecting against strains A, C, W134 and Y.
