Protecting the most vulnerable age group: a review of MenACWY-TT immunogenicity and safety in infants

Abstract: Introduction: Neisseria meningitidis causes invasive meningococcal disease (IMD), with the highest incidence observed in infants and young children. Meningococcal serogroups A, B, C, W, X, and Y account for almost all IMD cases worldwide. Available meningococcal vaccines targeting serogroups A, C, W, and Y (MenACWY) include those conjugated to diphtheria toxoid (MenACWY-D), diphtheria protein cross-reactive material 197 (MenACWY-CRM 197 ), and tetanus toxoid (MenACWY-TT). MenACWY-TT is indicated for use starti… Show more

“…76 It is expected that within the coming years, MenACWY vaccines will replace MenC vaccines within infant vaccination programs, particularly in middle- and high-income countries to broaden the range of protection. 85 Moreover, adolescent meningococcal vaccination, including primary vaccination and a booster dose, is already recommended in the United Kingdom and in some European member states. 76 , 86 Overall, depending on country and vaccine, the earliest age that a meningococcal vaccine series is recommended to begin is at 2 months, knowing that some protection likely occurs after just one dose.…”
