TORONTO’S GAY & LESBIAN NEWS INVASIVE MENINGOCOCCAL DISEASE (IMD) OUTBREAKS IN MEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH MEN NEW YORK CITY (August 2010 - May 2013): LOS ANGELES (December 2012 - 22 cases June 2013): Deaths: 7 4 cases Outbreaks in TORONTO (2001) and CHICAGO (2003): 12 cases Deaths: 5 PROTECT YOURSELF. Meningococcal bacteria is responsible for causing IMD and can be found in the nose and throat of about 10% of healthy adults in North America and Western Europe. IMD is devastating and approximately 10% of people who contract the disease will die. TRANSMISSION RISK FACTORS CROWDED CONDITIONS: INTIMATE CONTACT: SHARING: • Bars • Mass gatherings • Wet kissing • Drinks • Nightclubs (e.g., Pride events) • Sex • Food utensils • Bathhouse • Toothbrushes ASK YOUR DOCTOR FOR THE MENACTRA® VACCINE. MENACTRA® is a vaccine to prevent meningococcal meningitis and other meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis (strains A, C, Y and W-135) in persons 9 months through 55 years of age. MENACTRA® does not protect against disease caused by strain B, and is not a treatment for meningococcal infections or their complications. The length of protection is currently not known. As with any vaccine, MENACTRA® may not protect 100% of vaccinated individuals. The amount of time it takes for your body to develop enough antibodies to protect you from meningococcal diseases can vary. It can take several days to a few weeks after your vaccination. MENACTRA® should not be used in persons with known severe allergy to any of its components or its container. A recent large study found no evidence of increased Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) risk associated with the use of MENACTRA®. Persons with a previous history of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) may be at increased risk of GBS following receipt of MENACTRA®. Some people who receive MENACTRA® may have mild side effects such as redness or pain at the site of injection, headache or fever. Common side effects in infants include fever, increased crying, fussiness, vomiting, drowsiness and loss of appetite. These side effects usually go away within a few days. Allergic reactions may occur. Talk to your doctor to see if MENACTRA® is right for you. For complete product information, visit www.sanofipasteur.ca.
