5 QUINIPET CAMP AND RETREAT CENTER F-'Ai T H II cj \1,T, Dear Parent Guardian, January 16, 2016 I am writing to inform you about meningococcal disease, a potentially fatal bacteria infection commonly referred to as meningitis, and a new law in New York State. On July 22, 2003, the New York State Public Health Law (NYSPHL)was amended to include 2167 requiring overnight children's camps to distribute information about meningococcal disease and vaccination to the parents or guardians of all campers who attend camp for 7 or more nights. This law became effective on August 15, Meningitis is rare. However, when it strikes, its flu-like symptoms make diagnosis difficult. If not treated early, meningitis can lead to swelling of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal column as well as severe and permanent disabilities, such as hearing loss, brain damage, seizures, limb amputation and even death. Casesof meningitis among teens and adults 15 to 24 years of age have more than doubled since The disease strikes about 3000 Americans each year and claims about 300 lives. A vaccine is available that protects against four types of the bacteria that cause meningitis in the United States - types A, C, Y and W-135. These types account for nearly two thirds of meningitis casesamong teens and young adults. Information about the availability and cost of the vaccine can be obtained from your health care provider. Quinipet Camp & Retreat Center is required to maintain a record of the following for each camper: A response to receipt of meningococcal meningitis disease and vaccine information signed by the camper's parent or guardian; AND information on the availability and cost of meningococcal meningitis vaccine (Menomune or Menactra); AND EITHERA record of meningococcal meningitis immunization within the past 10 years; OR An acknowledgement of meningococcal meningitis disease risks and refusal of meningococcal meningitis immunization signed by the camper's parent or guardian. Please review the enclosed materials, and complete the Meningococcal Vaccination Response Form and return it along with your child's Health Form no later than June lsi Sincerely,!~J!~ I lenn~er Martin Registrar PHONE: INFO@QUINIPET.ORG FAX: POST OFFICE Box 549 SHELTER ISLAND HGTS.

7 NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Bureau of Communicable Disease Control Meningococcal Disease What is meningococcal disease? Meningococcal disease is a severe bacterial infection of the bloodstream or meninges (a thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord) caused by the meningococcus germ. Who gets meningococcal disease? Anyone can get meningococcal disease, but it is more common in infants and children. For some adolescents, such as first year college students living in dormitories, there is an increased risk of meningococcal disease. Every year in the United States approximately 2,500 people are infected and 300 die from the disease. Other persons at increased risk include household contacts of a person known to have had this disease, immunocompromised people, and people traveling to parts of the world where meningococcal meningitis is prevalent. How is the meningococcus germ spread? The meningococcus germ is spread by direct close contact with nose or throat discharges of an infected person. What are the symptoms? High fever, headache, vomiting, stiff neck and a rash are symptoms of meningococcal disease. Among people who develop meningococcal disease, 10-15% die, in spite of treatment with antibiotics. Of those who live, permanent brain damage, hearing loss, kidney failure, loss of arms or legs, or chronic nervous system problems can occur. The symptoms may appear 2 to 10 days after exposure, but usually within 5 days. What is the treatment for meningococcal disease? Antibiotics, such as penicillin G or ceftriaxone, can be used to treat people with meningococcal disease. Should people who have been in contact with a diagnosed case of meningococcal meningitis be treated? Only people who have been in close contact (household members, intimate contacts, health care personnel performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, day care center playmates, etc.) need to be considered for preventive treatment. Such people are usually advised to obtain a prescription for a special antibiotic (either rifampin, ciprofloxacin or ceftriaxone) from their physician. Casual contact as might occur in a regular classroom, office or factory setting is not usually significant enough to cause concern. Is there a vaccine to prevent meningococcal meningitis? In February 2005, the CDC recommended a new vaccine, known as Menactra TM, for use to prevent meningococcal disease. The previous version of this vaccine, Menomune TM, was first available in the United States in Both vaccines are 85% to 100% effective in preventing the 4 kinds of the meningococcus germ (types A, C, Y, W-135). These 4 types cause about 70% of the disease in the United States. Because the vaccine does not include type B, which accounts for about one-third of cases in adolescents, it does not prevent all cases of meningococcal disease. Is the vaccine safe? Are there adverse side effects to the vaccine? Both vaccines are currently available and both are safe and effective vaccines. However, both vaccines may cause mild and infrequent side effects, such as redness and pain at the injection site lasting up to two days. Who should get the meningococcal vaccine? The vaccine is recommended for all adolescents entering middle school (11-12 years old) and high school (15 years old) and all first year college students living in dormitories. Also at increased risk are people with terminal complement deficiencies or asplenia, some laboratory workers and travelers to endemic areas of the world. However, the vaccine will benefit all teenagers and young adults in the United States. What is the duration of protection from the vaccine? Menomune"IN, the older version, requires booster doses every 3 to 5 years. Although research is still pending, the new vaccine, Menactra T10I, will probably not require booster doses. As with any vaccine, vaccination against meningitis may not protect 100% of all susceptible individuals. How do I get more information about meningococcal disease and vaccination? Contact your family physician or your student health service. Additional information is also available on the websites of the New York State Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College Health Association, P:\SecIions\Community Health\CAMPs\Meningococcal\Meningococcal Fact sheet 200S.doc
