The First Case of Serogroup Y <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> and An Expanded Investigation of Healthy Carriers — Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, China, 2023

NmY has caused multiple case reports across China, especially in southern cities. The first report of a serogroup Y case in Hebei Province, and the carriage rate in the healthy population, reminds us to increase public health attention on Nm. The results of this study suggest that surveillance of the Nm carriage rate among healthy carriers and serogroup changes in Nm should be strengthened.
