Meningococcal
Meningitis vaccine in Montreal (Menactra) Usually caused by a virus or the presence
of bacteria, meningitis is an infection of the fluid that surrounds
the spinal cord and the brain.
Meningococcal meningitis is
spread from person-to-person via respiratory secretions; it can
be spread by infected individuals that have no symptoms. During
the Hajj – the annual pilgrimage to Mecca – Saudi Arabia hosts thousands
of Muslims from around the world. Crowded conditions
and arrivals from the endemic zone of Africa combine to create the
potential for epidemic disease. For this reason,
Saudi Arabia requires individuals to be vaccinated before entering
the country during the pilgrimage season.
