Either rifampin or ciprofloxacin can be used for prophylaxis in people who have had close contact with the index case. The vaccines against groups A, C, Y, and W-135 meningococci contain the polysaccharide capsule as the immunogen . The vaccine against group B meningococci contains Factor H binding protein as the immunogen . The conjugate vaccine is recommended for children at the age of 11 – years. College students living in dormitories are encouraged to receive the vaccine. Booster dose is recommended for those who received the conjugate vaccine prior to the age of 16.
