Serogroup A meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine

Function and Efficacy

According to the difference of its antigen-capsular polysaccharide, Neisseria meningitidis can be divided into at least 7 serogroups, including A, B, and C. 95% of epidemic meningitis in my country is caused by group A pathogens, which is different in other countries (for example, 85% to 95% in the United States are caused by groups B, C, and w-135). Therefore, my country's vaccine is prepared with purified capsular polysaccharides of group A epidemic meningococci. Antibodies can be detected in the body 1 to 2 weeks after vaccination, reaching a peak in 12 weeks, and immunity can be maintained for at least 1 year to prevent epidemic meningitis caused by group A meningococci. The main targets of vaccination are children aged 6 months to 15 years in epidemic areas and those who plan to travel to and work in epidemic areas.
