In European countries, the highest MenB and C disease burden is similarly seen in infants (although the incidence rate reached 5.4/100,000 and 2.1/100,000 infants for MenB and C, respectively, much less when compared with the mean incidence rate of 9.66/100,000 and 6.72/100,000 infants for the corresponding capsular groups in Malta), with children less than 5 years old and adolescents and young adults being more affected than other age groups [1, 31] . Furthermore, a MenB immunization programme consisting of a 2 dose prime and boost MenB infant vaccine schedule in addition to MenB adolescent vaccination at 12 years of age would also be projected to provide direct protection and reduce the incidence of MenB, which is responsible for the highest meningococcal disease burden in Malta.	./cache/cord-011417-a5q15dq1.txt	./txt/cord-011417-a5q15dq1.txt
