Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine VIS | Vaccines & Immunizations | CDC

Summary: This CDC Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) provides essential information about the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine, which protects against serogroups A, C, W, and Y. It outlines the recommended two-dose schedule for adolescents, groups at increased risk, potential side effects, and procedures for reporting adverse reactions.

The Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) is an official document from the CDC detailing the importance of vaccination against meningococcal disease, a serious infection that can lead to meningitis and blood infections. The document specifies that adolescents should receive a first dose at 11 or 12 years of age and a booster dose at 16. It also identifies high-risk groups, including individuals with HIV, spleen damage, complement component deficiencies, or those taking complement inhibitors, as well as microbiologists and travelers to endemic regions. The VIS covers safety considerations, including contraindications for those with severe allergies, guidance for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and common side effects like redness, soreness, muscle pain, or headache. It also provides instructions for reporting adverse events via VAERS and information on the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
