Abstract
The article discusses the assessment of meningitis surveillance before the conduct of a serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis meningococcal conjugate vaccination campaign in Burkina Faso and Mali. It claims that a solid meningitis surveillance is important for assessing the effect of the PsA-TT (MenAfriVac) as it was licensed based on safety and immunogenicity data. The data were collected by the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
