Publicly available surveillance data, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports, and other sources suggest that college students in the United States are at increased risk for meningococcus serogroup B (MenB) disease. US surveillance data from 2015 to 2017 show that the incidence of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) was greater among college students than among those not attending college; the average annual incidence of MenB disease was >5-fold higher among college students, and all college IMD outbreaks between 2011 and March 2019 were caused by MenB.
公开的监测数据、美国疾病控制与预防中心的报告和其他来源表明，美国大学生感染脑膜炎奈瑟菌 B 群（MenB）疾病的风险增加。2015 年至 2017 年美国的监测数据显示，与未上大学的人群相比，大学生罹患侵袭性脑膜炎球菌病（IMD）的发病率更高；大学生中 MenB 病的年平均发病率高出 5 倍以上，2011 年至 2019 年 3 月期间所有的大学生侵袭性脑膜炎球菌病疫情均由 MenB 引起。
