VACCINE TYPES
- Conjugate vaccines:
- Menactra (MCV4): quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (Groups A, C, Y and W-135)
- Menveo (MenACWY-CRM): quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine (Groups A, C, Y and W-135)
- Menhibrix (HibMen-CY-TT): bivalent meningococcal (Groups C, Y) and Hib capsular polysaccharides conjugate (tetanus toxoid) vaccine
- Polysaccharide vaccine:
- Menomune (MPSV4): quadrivalent polysaccharide vaccine (Groups A, C, Y and W-135 combined); polysaccharide vaccines probably have less durable serologic response than conjugate vaccines.
- Recombinant vaccines:
- Bexsero (MenB-4C): recombinant vaccine (only Group B)
- Trumenba (MENB): recombinant vaccine (only Group B)
