The Iranian Defense delegation, headed by Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy Rear Admiral Ali Reza Tangsiri, arrived in Doha to take part in Middle East Naval Commanders Conference (
MENC).
During the second day of the event, Dimdex hosted prominent naval defence commanders, thought leaders and experts from various parts of the world, at the sixth
MENC, titled 'Building Capabilities in Challenging Environments through Visionary International Military Co-operation and Defence Engagement', under the auspices of HE Dr al-Attiyah.
The charity Meningitis Now said that in 2015-16, there was one case of
MenC septicaemia recorded in children under one.
MenC cases were excluded because of successful
MenC vaccination programs for persons 14-16 years of age and new university entrants available since September 2013.
In contrast to the literature (4,6), a recent study reported high rates of
MenC carriage (6.3 and 4.9%) among Brazilian refinery workers (10).
A total of 716 children aged 13-15 months were randomized (2:1:1) and received a single dose of each vaccine, which included coadministered MMRV plus
MenC at the same visit (MMRV +
MenC group), or MMRV followed 42 days later by
MenC (MMRV group), or
MenC followed 42 days later by MMRV (
MenC group).
(1) In industrialised countries, including the Netherlands, serogroups B (MenB), C (
MenC) and Y (MenY) have mainly had the highest prevalence and caused major outbreaks and hyperendemic diseases since the 1970s.
This has replaced the
MenC booster vaccine previously given at this age.
This vaccination programme replaces the previous
MenC programme for freshers.
Dimdex is much more than just an exhibition; the three-day event also features the international strategic Middle East Naval Commanders Conference (
MENC), the visit of warships to Doha Commercial Port and elite VIP delegation visits," a statement from the organisers said.
