mgc vaccine schedule
Meningococcal Vaccine Schedule. Vaccination is the best way to prevent meningitis. There are different types of meningococcal vaccines: MenACWY (conjugate), MenB (serogroup B), and MPSV4 (polysaccharide) vaccines. MenACWY is given to preteens and teens at age 11 or 12 years. A booster dose is needed at 16 years.
In 2015, two serogroup B vaccines were given approval and protect against the other two forms of meningococcal disease. MenB-FHpb or Trumenba was approved for a three dose schedule, while MenB-4C Bexsero is approved for two doses.
