Abstract
The article analyzes the epidemiological situation of meningococcal infection (MI) in the territory of the Novgorod region for 2018–2020, which was characterized as stable and complex, with signs of an interepidemic period. Currently, in the developed countries of the world, in most regions of the Russian Federation, including the Novgorod region, meningococci of serogroup B predominate in the structure of MI diseases. The share of N. meningitidis of serogroup B can account for up to 90% of MI cases, and 50% of the cases are children under 2 years old. The emergence of new, modern vaccines for the prevention of MI makes it possible to prevent MI disease in children, adolescents and adults, serves as a reliable basis for active intervention in the epidemic process, making it manageable, and also preventing the catastrophic impact of MI on young children. In the territory of the Novgorod region in 2018– 2020, MI incidence rates exceeded the national average by 2.9–4.5 times. Only sporadic morbidity with a generalized form of meningococcal infection was recorded, with a tendency to decrease and involvement of mainly urban population in the epidemic process.
