What the trials found For clinicians

Meningococcal Meningitis: what the trials found

Multiple quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccines (MenACWY) demonstrate robust immunogenicity across age groups. In toddlers, MenACYW conjugate vaccine elicited seroresponse rates of 73.8%–91.4% against serogroups A, C, Y, and W, with higher responses in adolescents (74.0%–95.6%) compared to adults (73.5%–88.1%) 13. In children aged 2–9 years, MenACYW conjugate vaccine achieved seroresponse rates of 55.4%–95.2% and geometric mean titers (GMTs) of 17.0–238, with lower GMTs in the 2–5 year subgroup 8. Similarly, MenACWY-CRM vaccine induced hSBA ≥1:8 in 88%–99% of infants following a 4-dose schedule 20. Booster responses were durable: after Menactra booster, antibody titers ≥1:4 persisted in 67.6%–98.2% at 4 years post-vaccination 3.

For serogroup B, the recombinant multicomponent vaccines rMenB+OMV NZ and rLP2086 show high immunogenicity. After a 2-dose primary series of rMenB+OMV NZ, 98%–100% of subjects achieved hSBA titers ≥4 or ≥5 14. Booster doses maintained seroprotection: 97%–100% of children had SBA titers ≥1:5 after a fourth dose 15. However, antibody persistence wanes: at 4 years of age, only 12%–35% of children retained SBA titers ≥1:5 after a primary series and booster 19. The rLP2086 vaccine was associated with a 1.55%–2.52% rate of serious adverse events 16.

Concomitant administration of MenACWY vaccines with other routine vaccines (e.g., Tdap, HPV) does not impair immune responses. When Tdap was given with MenACWY-CRM, anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus concentrations ≥0.1 IU/mL were achieved in 97%–100% of subjects, similar to Tdap with placebo 21. Similarly, MenACYW conjugate vaccine administered with other pediatric vaccines resulted in 56.1%–78.5% achieving hSBA vaccine seroresponse 9.

For the clinician treating this condition

  • Quadrivalent MenACWY conjugate vaccines (e.g., MenACYW, MenACWY-CRM) provide high seroresponse rates across age groups, with adolescents showing the strongest responses.
  • Serogroup B vaccines (rMenB+OMV NZ, rLP2086) induce robust initial antibody responses, but persistence declines over years; booster doses are effective in restoring protection.
  • MenACWY vaccines can be co-administered with routine vaccines (e.g., Tdap, HPV) without compromising immunogenicity.
