Overview

Meningococcal groups A, C, Y, and W-135 polysaccharide vaccine is an active immunizing agent used to prevent infection by specific groups of meningococcal bacteria. The vaccine contains purified capsular polysaccharide antigens extracted from Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135. It works by stimulating the body to produce antibodies against these bacterial groups, providing protection against meningococcal meningitis and meningococcemia. Available in both polysaccharide and conjugate formulations, with conjugate versions linked to carrier proteins such as diphtheria toxoid (MenACWY-D), CRM197 protein (MenACWY-CRM), or tetanus toxoid (MenACWY-TT) for enhanced immunogenicity.
