Final Revised Vaccine Information Materials for Meningococcal ACWY Vaccines

Under the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) (42 U.S.C. 300aa-26), CDC must develop vaccine information materials that all health care providers are required to give to patients/parents prior to administration of specific vaccines. On October 14, 2015, CDC published a notice in the Federal Register (80 FR 61819) seeking public comments on proposed updated vaccine information materials for Meningococcal ACWY and Serogroup B Meningococcal vaccines. Following review of comments submitted and consultation as required under the law, CDC has finalized the materials for Meningococcal ACWY vaccines. Copies of the final vaccine information materials for Meningococcal ACWY vaccines are available to download from http://www.cdc.gov/ vaccines/hcp/vis/index.html or http://www.regulations.gov (see Docket Number CDC-2015-0059). CDC will publish the final vaccine information materials for Serogroup B Meningococcal vaccines when they are completed.
