 The 2012 Gay Pride parade in New York. Health officials are urging men to be vaccinated against meningitis this year.
June 17th, 2013
06:23 PM ET
Meningitis vaccines urged before NYC Pride eventsWhile meningitis has reached an all-time low in the United States, an op-ed in this week's Annals of Internal Medicine highlights cases of a deadly meningitis strain among men who have sex with men. Cities including New York, Toronto, and San Francisco have launched public awareness campaigns to promote vaccination, but the authors also call on physicians to assess the risk to their patients and discuss the strain. Since August 2010, 22 cases have been reported in New York City among men who have sex with men. More than half of those were already HIV positive. Seven men died. In fact, in New York City last year, men who have sex with men were 50 times more likely than the general population to be infected with the virus, according to city health officials. Meningitis can be spread by close contact such as kissing or sharing cigarettes. Early symptoms of infection can include flu-like symptoms, sepsis and rash. Death is common within 24 hours of first exhibiting symptoms. And the disease isn't limited to New York. Four cases have also been reported in Los Angeles since December, officials said. Public health officials are already sounding the alarm. In New York City, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene recommends that all men who have sex with men be vaccinated against the deadly virus, as it can be spread via intimate contact. In New York state, insurers are mandated to cover the vaccine. Since last October, the department has vaccinated more than 11,000 people and no new cases have been reported since February. With upcoming Gay Pride festivities slated for the end of the month, health departments in other cities are advising those traveling to New York for the events be vaccinated. It's not the first time events have been targeted, as mass gatherings have been associated with outbreaks in the past. In fact, all those making pilgrimages to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, for the annual Hajj are also required to be vaccinated.

Meningitis is caused by a bacteria, not a virus.
Actually there can be Bacterial or Viral causes
Both can cause meningitis.
Bacterial meningitis is caused by a bacteria, viral meningitis is caused by a virus. The more you know...
Although meningitis can be caused by either, the linked pages refer to meningococcal disease, so this would be bacterial.
Meningitis is nothing more that a description of an inflammation. It may be caused by infection (viral or bacterial), reaction to a substance, or temporarily through physical injury to the dura mater. While the information reported via the NYHD is not clear, the vaccine is meant to prevent infection via the Neisseria meningitidis pathogen.
PhD is correct, as is Josh.
Menactra and the like treat meningococcal bacterial induced meningitis. There is no vaccine for viral meningitis per se (though in theory, measles and influenza can cause encephalitis, but that's not what they are taking about)
Meningitis can be either viral or bacterial. Since it is spread much more easily than STD's are, i.e., by mere casual contact, any large gatherings such as that expected in the upcoming Gay Parade could result in a greater transmission of the pathogen responsible for the meningitis infection. So, it's not that the participants of the upcoming event are gay, but, rather, that such event will bring very large numbers of people within close proximity to one another – all that is necessary given the spread by casual contact.

@ViK100, what a STUPID statement.
MOST of the cases of HIV (which I'm sure is what you're referring to), has been spread by straight people, i.e. Africa.
Please keep your narrow minded, uneducated opinions to yourself.
No one is fooled by your anti-gay Hate Speech, "Chris Honry." The only thing you're accomplishing with this disgusting and disturbing Hate Speech is to demonstrate you take pleasure in hoping all LGBT Americans would get a disease, suffer and die. Most Americans find anti-gays disgusting and immoral–just what fool anti-gays TRIED but FAILED to sell to non-gay Americans about LGBT Americans!
And the Book Stores where men have sex with other men at the GLORY HOLEE and THEARE and the owners make money from this WHY......(dirtandmoredirt com)
Perhaps most of them will not get vaccinated.
It's so disturbing to see the few remaining anti-gays tell us they take pleasure in their fantasy that all LGBT Americans might get some disease, any disease–and then suffer and die. This is one of the reasons why the anti-gay agenda has been destroyed, and the majority of Americans support marriage equality and equal rights for LGBT Americans.
Which will destroy the REST of America.
You really have no idea what the term "few" means do you. Enjoy your sodomy and wishful thinking.
"few"? LOL. The majority of Americans still don't think gays should "marry". They are correct.
What a pathetic anti-gay LIE, rob, fully 58% of Americans support marriage equality, the ABC/Washington Post poll tells us. Tough luck about your attempt to portray anti-gays are "the majority." The REAL majority of Americans just laugh at anti-gay LIES like that.
Yay CNN for allowing the ignorant haters a forum. Seriously, why do you allow comments on your articles at all? Every once in a while, decent discussion breaks out, but typically it's just the lowest lifeforms screeching.
Yeah, go ahead and call me a low lifeform. Now, get out of the basment – I bet your mommy needs her computer.
" It's not the first time events have been targeted, as mass gatherings have been associated with outbreaks in the past. In fact, all those making pilgrimages to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, for the annual Hajj are also required to be vaccinated."
Ya hear that, Muslims? CNN is equating Gay Pride gatherings with your annual pilgrimage to Mecca. You gonna take that?
It looks like Muslims are smarter than you are, sweetie.
If the point of this article is that large gatherings of people, such as the upcoming Pride Parade, can spread meningitis, especially since there might be a bit of an outbreak in NYC, it hampers the message by starting out with gay male s$x. So sharing a cigarette can spread it... that's exactly like gay male s$x. Maybe you should warn against say, sharing your water (or liquor) bottle instead. That will probably spread it to more people than a couple of guys getting it on.

And right after the gay pride parade, we're going to have a national repentance day to repent for not teaching our yung people that when you grow up, it's not nice to put your male parts inside another male, and if you are a male, you should have a wife. LIkewise to the girls.
@Bob girls should also have a wife? Not nice? Ha ha. I thing there are many who would say it's very nice indeed. Where's the love?
Wow, Bob, just how much time a day do YOU fantasize about "gay sex"?
K-switch
Are you responsible for spreading hate?
++++++++++++++++++
No. I'm responsible for spreading the truth in love. Are you responsble for spreading error?
No one is fooled by your anti-gay lies, Bob, except maybe you. Didn't you PAY some anti-gay Hate Cult for those lies?
Notice that the original post I replied to is gone now. Pulled for violating TOS. Apparently CNN agreed with me.
We need to save all gods creatures from extinction, We need to gather DNA from everything, Yes humans too, thanks to people, The whole world is in trouble, man Is suppose to be the smartest things on earth ,but they are far from it. They don't have the morals that nature gave us to up hold. Being gay, is inherited, from ,degenerate parents, There can only be one outcome, Extinction, that is the way life, has always worked out.

There is so much misinformation and so many bogus products surrounding penis enlargement that when they discover the solution, no one will believe. So here goes; any male can permanently increase length and girth in the same way a bodybuilder adds mass and becomes larger. As you stress tissue, the body goes into a natural process of creating new cells making you larger. The question is not whether permanent enlargement is possible but instead, how do you safely stress penile tissue to promote cell growth? The answers can be found at MagnumRings.com.
