摘要：
A first outbreak of serogroup C meningococcal disease occurred in the province of Quebec in 1990-1992 and lead to a mass immunization campaign using polysaccharide vaccines. In 2001, a second outbreak was identified and a mass vaccination campaign was carried out, using the newly licensed conjugate vaccine. Clinical, epidemiological, economic and social studies were instrumental in the decision making for implementing these control programs.
