2019 Vaccine Guide & Insert - 19

MENINGOCOCCAL B
Meningococcal B
Certain groups should receive both MenACWY and MenB vaccines. Others are recommended to
receive MenACWY only.

ACIP recommends
that a MenB
vaccine series may
be administered
to persons 16
through 23 years of
age with a preferred
age of vaccination of
16 through 18 years.

MenB is recommended for these groups:
* People age 10 years and older who have a damaged or missing spleen
* People age 10 years and older who have persistent complement component deficiency (an
immune system disorder which may also be caused by the drug Soliris [eculizumab]), or are
at risk during an outbreak caused by a vaccine serogroup
* People working with meningococcus bacteria in laboratories
MenB vaccines are not routinely recommended for all adolescents or college students. However,
ACIP recommends that a MenB vaccine series may be administered to persons 16
through 23 years of age with a preferred age of vaccination of 16 through 18 years. This
permissive recommendation allows the clinician to make a MenB vaccine recommendation based
on the risk and benefit for the individual patient.
Meningococcal polysaccharide or conjugate vaccines provide no protection against serogroup B
disease and MenB vaccines provide no protection against serogroup A, C, W or Y disease. For
protection against all 5 serogroups of meningococcus, it is necessary to receive meningococcal
conjugate or polysaccharide (that contain serogroup A, C, W, and Y) and a MenB vaccine.
