This 12-year-old boy should receive the meningococcal conjugate vaccine, which is routinely given at age 11-12 years, with a booster at 16 years.

The bacterium Neisseria meningitidis causes meningococcal meningitis, a severe (and often rapidly fatal) disease, which often affects otherwise healthy adolescents and adults and can cause epidemics in densely populated living spaces (such as college dormitories or military barracks). The disease can be prevented with the meningococcal conjugate vaccine, which, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, should be given at age 11-12 years and again at age 16.
