6 Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) 13 serogroups: A, B, C, D, H, I, K, L,W, X, Y,Z and 29E (determined by antigens of polysaccharide capsule) 6 serogroups are responsible for invasive human disease: A, B, C, W, X and Y (A, W and X rare in United States) Gram-negative coccus that typically appears in pairsdiplococcus. Adjacent sides of diplococcus are flat kidney-bean shape There are non-typeable, non-invasive strains of N. meningitidis 6

7 Neisseria meningitidis: Microbiology Encapsulated gram-negative diplococcus Strictly human pathogen Asymptomatic carriage common Carrier prevalence: 5%-10% <1% of carriers become symptomatic Transmission Contact with respiratory secretions Incubation period: 2-10 days Gram stain of engulfed N. meningitidis in cerebrospinal fluid.

23 Meningococcal Vaccination Recommendations Adolescents should be routinely immunized at 11 through 12 years of age and given a booster dose at 16 years of age; Adolescents who received their first dose at age 13 through 15 years should receive a booster at age 16 through 18 years or up to 5 years after their first dose; Adolescents who receive their first dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine at or after 16 years of age do not need a booster dose; Unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated first year college students living in residence halls should receive a single dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine;

24 Meningococcal Vaccination Recommendations A 2-dose primary series should be administered 2 months apart for those who are at increased risk of invasive meningococcal disease because of persistent complement component (e.g. C5-C9, properdin, factor H, or factor D) deficiency (2 months through 54 years of age) or functional or anatomic asplenia (2 months 54 years of age) and for adolescents with HIV infection; For the pediatric population, an age-appropriate meningococcal conjugate vaccine is preferred to the meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine, unless there is a contraindication for the meningococcal conjugate vaccine.

25 Average Annual Cases of Meningococcal Diseases in Children <5 years, Age Serogroup B Serogroup C Serogroup Y Serogroup C + Y (Incidence) 0-2 months (1.3) 3-5 months (1.4) 6-8 months (1.3) 9-11 months (0.9) 1 year (0.3) 2 years (0.3) 3 years (0.2) 4 years (0.2) Total (0.40) 58 of 251 (23%) of cases prevented ABCs cases from and estimated to the U.S. population (2010 data provisional)

26 Meningococcal Vaccines for Infants and Toddlers MCV4-D (Menactra Sanofi) -2 dose series at 9 & mos (FDA approved April 2011) -Co-administration with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine decreased antibody responses to some pneumococcal serotypes HibMenCY-TT (GSK) - 3 dose primary (2,4,6m) mo booster (FDA approved June 2012) MCV4-CRM (Menveo Novartis) -3 dose primary (2,4,6m) month booster (FDA approved June 2013)

28 Recommended Meningococcal Vaccines by Age Group Age group MenACWY-D (Menactra) years Routinely recommended MenACWY-CRM (Menveo) Routinely recommended HibMenCY-TT (MenHibrix) Not approved in this age group

29 Schedule for booster doses in individuals with persistent increased risk for invasive meningococcal disease Age at last MCV dose Duration until next booster dose 2 mos-6y 3 yᵃ > 6y 5 y ᵃIf the last dose was HIBMenCY-TT, the booster dose should be MenACWY-D or MenACWY-CRM

30 Incidence per 100,000 Meningococcal Incidence in Adolescents and Young Adults by Serogroup, Serogroup B Serogroups C & Y Age (years) *NNDSS data with additional serogroup data from ABCs and state health departments. Unknown serogroup (19%) and other serogroups (8%) excluded 30

31

32 Epidemiology of Serogroup B Meningococcal Disease in Adolescents With widespread use of conjugate vaccines in adolescents and young adults, serogroup B now causes nearly half of all meningococcal disease cases in this age group Approximately 50 cases annually among year olds Approximately one third of cases among year olds occur in college students Recent outbreaks on college campuses have been due to serogroup B 32

33 Outbreaks of Meningococcal Disease Meningococcal outbreaks are rare, historically causing ~2-3% of US cases 1 Five serogroup B meningococcal disease clusters/outbreaks on college campuses Princeton: 1400 fold increased risk; 5,800 recommended vaccine UCSB: 200 fold increased risk; 20,000 recommended vaccine Threshold for vaccination for serogroup B outbreaks in institutional settings 2 2 cases in population <5,000 persons 3 cases in population 5,000 persons 1 National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System

34 Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccine The polysaccharide capsule of N. meningitidis serogroup B is poorly Immunogenic Antibodies directed against the polysaccharide capsule of N. meningitidis serogroup B react with glycoproteins isolated from human brains The polysaccharide capsule of N. meningitides serogroup B has a similar immunochemical structure to intracellular adhesion molecules (Human immune system may see N. meningitidis serogroup B polysaccharide capsule as self ) 34

35 FHbp: Factor H binding protein subfamily A (variant 2,3) or subfamily B (variant 1) NhbA: Neisserial heparin binding antigen NadA: Neisserial adhesin A Vaccine 30S:B87,2012

36 Serogroup B Meningococcal Vaccines Two MenB vaccines are now licensed in the United States for persons years of age Trumenba (Pfizer) was licensed on October 29, 2014 Bexsero (Novartis) was licensed on January 23, 2015 Both vaccines were licensed under an accelerated pathway MenB vaccines are distinct from MenACWY conjugate vaccines because they are based on immunity to proteins rather than capsular polysaccharides

37 Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccines Trumenba (Pfizer)-FDA approved Oct different recombinant lapidated factor H binding (FHBP) variants - 3 dose primary series Bexsero (Novartis)-FDA approval pending - 3 recombinant proteins from N.meningitidis serogroup B (neisserial adhesion A, factor H binding protein; and neisserial heparin binding antigen) - Outer membrane vesicles (New Zealand epidemic strain N298/254) - 2 dose primary series 37

38 Solicited Adverse Reactions for MenB Vaccines in Clinical Trials Local Adverse Reactions: Trumenba Bexsero Pain (severe) 5-8% 20-29% Systemic Reactions: Fever ( 38 o C) 2-8% 1-5% Headache (severe) 1% 4-6% Fatigue (severe) 1-4% 4-6% Muscle pain (severe) 1-3% 12-13% Joint pain (severe) 1% 2% Use of Antipyretic medication 17-26% NA From package inserts for Trumenba and Bexsero Trumenba : percentage of participants reporting adverse reactions following dose 1, dose 2, or dose 3 Bexsero : percentage of participants reporting adverse reactions following dose 1 or dose 2 38

39 Safety Summary Majority of local & systemic reactions are mild to moderate in severity and transient Most common AE was pain at injection site Serious AE are rare and similar between vaccine recipients and controls in clinical trials Safety data not currently available in groups at increased risk Theoretical concerns from mouse models about autoimmune disorders; will be monitored through postlicensure safety surveillance Potentially serious adverse reactions may occur following any type of vaccine 39

40 Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccine Potential Candidates Groups at high-risk for meningococcal disease Healthy individuals? A or B recommendation Meningococcal serogroup B outbreaks Pregnant women to protect infants??? - 40

41 ACIP/AAP Men B Recommendations Recommendations pending Anticipated ACIP Discussions/vote -High risk populations - February Healthy Individual - June Outbreaks (revised) - October

42 Category A vs. B Recommendation Category A routine recommendations are made for all persons in an age- or risk-factor-based group Category B recommendations are made for individual clinical decision making (permissive) Both Category A and B recommendations are covered (financially) under the Affordable Care Act and VFC 42
