1. What is MenQuadfi and what is it used for

MenQuadfi (MenACWY) is a vaccine that can be administered to children from 1 year of age, adolescents, and adults.

MenQuadfi helps protect against infections caused by a type of bacteria (germs) called Neisseria meningitidis, specifically against types A, C, W, and Y.

The bacteria Neisseria meningitidis(also called meningococcus) can be transmitted from person to person and can cause serious and sometimes potentially life-threatening infections, such as:

  • Meningitis - an inflammation of the tissues that surround the brain and spinal cord;
  • Septicemia - a blood infection.

Both infections can cause severe illness with long-term effects or possibly death.

MenQuadfi should be used in accordance with official national recommendations.

How the vaccine works

MenQuadfi works by stimulating the body's natural defense (immune system) to produce protective antibodies against the bacteria.

MenQuadfi only helps protect against diseases caused by Neisseria meningitidisof types A, C, W, and Y.

  • It does not protect against infections caused by other types of Neisseria meningitidis.
  • It does not protect against meningitis or septicemia caused by other bacteria or viruses.
