1 Backgrounder: Voices of Meningitis The Charge To help protect against meningococcal meningitis, a disease that can potentially take a life in 24 hours 1, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends routine vaccination of adolescents aged 11 through 18 years with meningococcal conjugate vaccine (one dose of vaccine should be administered at age 11 or 12 years, with a second vaccination at age 16 years for children who receive the first dose before age 16 years). 2 However, millions of teens are under-vaccinated. 3,4 In fact, according to data published by the CDC, 77.8% of teens years of age received the first dose of vaccine, but only 29.6% received the booster dose. 4 The bacterium that causes meningococcal meningitis can be spread through everyday activities such as kissing and sharing utensils and water bottles, and teens are at increased risk for the disease and its devastating consequences. 5,6,7 The National Association of School Nurses (NASN) and Sanofi Pasteur collaborate on the Voices of Meningitis Campaign, now in its seventh year, to raise awareness of meningococcal meningitis and the importance of prevention. In 2015, the Campaign s focus is to help improve vaccination rates by motivating parents to ask their teen s health care provider if their teen has received two doses of meningococcal vaccine, as recommended by the CDC, to help protect against meningococcal meningitis. About Boost the Volume Competition Lucy Hale, actress, singer and star of ABC Family s hit show Pretty Little Liars, has joined Voices of Meningitis as a Campaign ambassador to raise her voice to call attention to the importance of protecting teens against meningococcal meningitis. Hale, in collaboration with the Campaign, will launch a fun, music-themed competition in four select cities: New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Portland. These cities were chosen because there is a need to improve vaccination rates in these communities, making them ideal locations for singing groups to lend their voice and help Voices of Meningitis Boost the Volume! Boost the Volume challenges local high school singing groups to perform an inspirational medley of songs that speaks to the importance of living your best life and serves as a reminder to communities across the country about the importance of protecting against meningococcal meningitis. One finalist will be chosen in each city and will be awarded with the opportunity to perform their medley with Ms. Hale at a concert for their fellow classmates, parents and teachers. As part of the concert, teens who suffered and survived meningitis will address the audience to raise awareness of the devastating consequences of the disease and stress the importance of vaccination.

2 Of the four finalists, one winning group will be selected to star in a new public service announcement (PSA) featuring Ms. Hale, calling attention to the dangers of meningococcal meningitis and the importance of prevention. The PSA will begin airing across the country in May Who is behind this year s initiative? This year, NASN and Sanofi Pasteur have joined forces with several partners to bring the importance of meningococcal meningitis vaccination to the national forefront: Lucy Hale: Actress and country singer, Lucy is best known for her role on the hit ABC Family series Pretty Little Liars. Ms. Hale recorded and released her debut studio album Road Between in Julie Knight: Lucy s mother and a Registered Nurse working in Labor and Delivery for the past 22 years. Julie currently lives and works in Memphis, TN, but has also worked in Los Angeles while Lucy was getting started in her career. Varsity Vocals: An international high school and collegiate a cappella organization that is responsible for the creation and development of the International Championship of High School A Cappella (ICHSA), a program that has helped to instill a passion for a cappella in thousands of high school students. Deke Sharon: Heralded as The Father of Contemporary A Cappella, he is responsible for the current sound of modern a cappella, having created the dense vocal-instrumental sound in college, subsequently spreading it around the world. Deke created and arranged the medley of songs for the Boost the Volume competition. Jaime Schanbaum: An otherwise healthy sophomore studying at the University of Texas, Jamie woke up feeling sick and thought she had the flu. Fourteen hours later she was fighting for her life. Jamie had contracted meningococcal meningitis. Jamie travels around the country sharing her story to educate about the dangers of meningococcal meningitis and the importance of vaccination. About The National Association of School Nurses (NASN): NASN is a non-profit specialty nursing organization, first organized in 1968 and incorporated in 1977, representing school nurses exclusively.

4 Backgrounder: What Is Meningococcal Disease? About Meningococcal Disease Meningococcal disease is a rare but serious bacterial infection that includes meningitis, (swelling of the tissues around the brain and spinal cord), bacteremia (a severe blood infection) and pneumonia. The bacteria that cause meningococcal disease are spread through respiratory droplets and direct contact with respiratory secretions. 1 As such, common everyday activities can play a role in disease spread, including kissing, sharing utensils and water bottles, and being in close quarters, such as living in a dormitory. 2,3,4 Signs and Symptoms Meningococcal disease can be difficult to diagnose, especially in its early stages, because symptoms are similar to those of common viral illnesses, such as the flu. 5 More importantly, meningococcal disease is very serious. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports fewer than 1,000 cases occur each year in the U.S. 6 Although rare, meningococcal disease develops rapidly and can claim the life of an otherwise healthy individual in as little as one day after the first symptoms appear. 1 Of those who survive, approximately one in five are left with serious medical problems, including: 7 Amputation of arms, legs, fingers, or toes Neurologic damage Deafness Kidney damage Protection and Prevention To help protect against meningococcal disease, the CDC recommends routine vaccination of adolescents aged 11 through 18 years with the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (a single dose of vaccine should be administered at age 11 or 12 years, with a booster dose at age 16 years for children who receive the first dose before age 16 years). 8 # # # VOICES OF MENINGITIS BOOST THE VOLUME COMPETITION TOOLKIT 10
