The incident is described in the article "Serogroup B Meningococcal
Disease --- Oregon, 1994," in the Feb 24 issue of the Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) produced by the Centers for Disease Control
(vol 44 no 7). I think you should be able to obtain the current and
previous copies of MMWRs using the following info, which I obtained by
subscribing to a CDC mailing list. I have also seen some other webs which
have MMWRs.

To access the MMWR via the MMWR web page:
http://www.cdc.gov/
Go to: "Publications and Scientific Data," then "Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR)" to find the MMWR.
or
http://www.crawford.com/cdc/mmwr/mmwr.html
And follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
-OR-
Via anonymous FTP:
ftp.cdc.gov in directory pub/mmwr/mmwr_wk/mm4409.pdf
or
ftp.crawford.com in directory pub/cdc/mmwr_wk/mm4409.pdf
If you do not have access to either FTP or the WWW, you may retrieve the
MMWR via e-mail from the FTP mail server. This process is much slower and
more
complex than either anonymous FTP or the World Wide Web.
Copy the following script, and paste it into an e-mail message addressed
to ftpmail at crawford.com:
open
force uuencode
cd pub/cdc/mmwr_wk
get mm4409.pdf
quit
FTP mail will send the file uuencoded. Depending on your e-mail system,
some sites may have to process the received mail with a uudecode utility
to create an acceptable binary file readable by Acrobat. If the e-mail
system
does not have uudecode, contact your e-mail administrator.
Uudecode software is available free of charge at many FTP sites on the
Internet.
If you need further instructions about FTP mail send an e-mail message to
ftpmail at crawford.com. The subject line should remain blank, and the body
of
the message should read:
help
The FTP mail server will send you a detailed help file with further
instructions and commands.
If you have other problems or questions, send e-mail to
mmwr-questions at list.cdc.gov
