Abstract
Introduction: In 2005, the United States Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended routine vaccination against invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) caused by serogroups A, C, W, and Y (MenACWY) for all 11-12-year-olds, as well as 2-10-year-olds at high risk. In 2010, a booster dose was recommended for all 16-year-olds, as well as for high-risk patients every 3-5 years. In 2015, optional (as opposed to routine) vaccination against meningococcal serogroup B (MenB) at the preferred age of 16-18 years was recommended (Category B, later changed to shared clinical decision-making). In 2023, a vaccine (MenABCWY) against the five serogroups primarily responsible for IMD in the U.S. became available.
Areas covered: This review summarizes the evolution of public policy that led to each milestone vaccine recommendation, reviews epidemiologic data published following the recommendations, and discusses the current state of meningococcal immunization policy.
Expert opinion: The use of MenABCWY has the potential to consolidate policy, improve coverage rates for the five serogroups, address disparities in vaccination coverage, and simplify vaccine delivery.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Vaccines (ISSN 1476-0584) provides expert commentary on the development, application, and clinical effectiveness of new vaccines. Coverage includes vaccine technology, vaccine adjuvants, prophylactic vaccines, therapeutic vaccines, AIDS vaccines and vaccines for defence against bioterrorism. All articles are subject to rigorous peer-review.
The vaccine field has been transformed by recent technological advances, but there remain many challenges in the delivery of cost-effective, safe vaccines. Expert Review of Vaccines facilitates decision making to drive forward this exciting field.
