Response to a Serogroup B Meningococcal Disease Case Among Military Trainees.

We describe the public health response to a military trainee who developed serogroup B meningococcal disease while sharing underwater breathing equipment. Despite high transmission risk, with rapid isolation and postexposure prophylaxis administration, there were no secondary cases. This case supports carefully weighing serogroup B meningococcal vaccination in high-risk settings.

COVID-19 Contact Tracing in an Overseas U.S. Military Population.

The purpose of this study was to describe the early epidemiology and contact tracing challenges for Covid-19 infection in an overseas military and DoD population. From February 28, 2020 to April 27, 2020, patients who were diagnosed with Covid-19 infection completed a Centers for Disease Control Persons Under Investigation (PUI) form during their encounter with a medical provider. Positive results were forwarded to the Public Health Department.
