The New Jersey Department of Health has reported that there may be an
outbreak of meningococcal disease at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New
Jersey. As you know, vaccination is the best way to protect against
meningococcal disease. We want to remind providers about coverage of vaccines
for the prevention of this condition for AmeriHealth New Jersey members.
The meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenA, C, W, and Y) and the serogroup B
vaccine (MenB) are covered for AmeriHealth New Jersey members who have
indications to receive these vaccines, including during suspected outbreaks.
