الوصف: | Abstract Recombinant vaccines against invasive meningococcal disease due to Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B (MenB) have shown substantial impact in reducing MenB disease in targeted populations. 4CMenB targets four key N. meningitidis protein antigens; human factor H binding protein (fHbp), Neisserial heparin binding antigen (NHBA), Neisseria adhesin A (NadA) and the porin A protein (PorA P1.4), with one or more of these expressed by most pathogenic MenB strains, while MenB-FHbp targets two distinct fHbp variants. While many countries recommend MenB immunisation in adults considered at high risk due to underlying medical conditions or immunosuppression, there are no recommendations for routine use in the general adult population. We reviewed the burden of MenB in adults, where, while incidence rates remain low (and far lower than in young children 50 years) and key aspects relating to duration of protection remain unclear. Although a broader adult MenB immunisation policy could provide greater protection of the adult population, additional data are required to support policy decision-making. Graphical Abstract |
