[MCOH-EH] Meningitis vaccination for healthcare workers

[Sajjad_Savul at bayhealth.org]

Thank you all for responding to my query. 

We recently had a bacterial meningitis case in the ER and the question 
came up in our Infection Prevention meeting.
We currently give it to microbiology personnel only: Menactra to those who 
are under 55 and Menomune to those who are above 55 years of age.

Thanks again!

We offer both meningitis regular and meningitis B vaccines to our micros 
as recommended by the CDC.

No, we do not. It’s too expensive. But the subject also has never come up.

Just curious if any of the hospitals/facilities offer meningitis 
vaccination for their high risk (e.g., emergency department) staff. 
Thanks.
