WHAT MENVEO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Menveo is a vaccine that is used for active immunization of children
(from 2 years of age),
adolescents and adults at risk of exposure to a bacterium named
_Neisseria meningitidis_ serogroups A,
C, W135 and Y, to prevent invasive disease_. _The vaccine works by
causing your body to make its own
protection (antibodies) against these bacteria.
_Neisseria meningitidis_ serogroup A, C, W135 and Y bacteria can cause
serious and sometimes
life-threatening infections such as meningitis and sepsis (blood
poisoning).
Menveo cannot cause bacterial meningitis. This vaccine contains a
protein (called CRM
197
) from
the bacteria that cause diphtheria. Menveo does not protect against
diphtheria. This means that
you (or your child) should receive other vaccines to protect against
diphtheria when these are due
or when advised by your doctor.
