Recommendations for meningococcal vaccination in healthy adolescents and teens using GSK’s Portfolio5,6

Infographic showing vaccine recommendations by age group

You can help protect your patients using GSK's meningococcal vaccines.1-3

 

AAP recommends5:

  • MenACWY: Routine administration of MenACWY vaccines like MENVEO
  • MenB: Using shared clinical decision-making (SCDM) for MenB vaccines like BEXSERO
  • MenABCWY: Using a MenABCWY vaccine like PENMENVY as an alternative to separate administration of MenACWY and MenB vaccines

CDC recommends meningococcal vaccination based on SCDM.6

 

  • The FDA-approved Prescribing Information for PENMENVY states a 2-dose schedule2
  • The FDA-approved Prescribing Information for MENVEO and BEXSERO does not include clinical data on concomitant administration of MENVEO and BEXSERO at the same visit1,3
  • The FDA-approved Prescribing Information for BEXSERO states doses should be administered according to a 2- or 3-dose schedule. The choice of dosing schedule may depend on the risk of exposure and the individual’s susceptibility to meningococcal serogroup B disease.3
  • Unlike routine, catch-up, and risk-based recommendations, shared clinical decision-making vaccinations are individualized and guided by discussions between the healthcare provider and the patient or parent/guardian7

 

States, municipalities, or systems also may have applicable recommendations. Please consult those for more information.

 

PENMENVY was studied in MenACWY conjugate vaccine-experienced individuals who previously received either MENVEO or Menactra.2,* CDC states MenACWY vaccines are interchangeable; the same vaccine product is recommended, but not required, for all doses.9 CDC and AAP state that BEXSERO and another manufacturer’s MenB vaccines are not interchangeable5,9; administer BEXSERO for subsequent MenB doses after PENMENVY where MenACWY is not indicated.8
