YOUR PATIENTS ARE COUNTING ON YOU TO START THE CONVERSATION

Incorporate a meningitis B (MenB) conversation into your protocol to help ensure you vaccinate all appropriate patients

Follow a simple, 3-step plan of action:

  1. EDUCATE patients about meningococcal disease, the 5 vaccine-preventable serogroups, and how BEXSERO can help protect against MenB1-3,*
  2. START the BEXSERO 2-dose vaccination series for your appropriate patients3
  3. SCHEDULE the second dose; send follow-up reminders to help patients complete the series

*The AAP encourages discussion about the availability of MenB vaccines with families. The discussion and decision should be documented even if the vaccine is not administered.4

Prioritize shared clinical decision-making

Doctor Discussion

CDC recommends a MenB vaccination series for adolescents not at increased risk, aged 16-23 years (preferred age 16-18 years), based on shared clinical decision-making.5,6

Do your part—initiate the MenB conversation with all appropriate patients and their parents/guardians.

Successfully complete every patient’s MenB series

  • Follow the 2020 CDC MenB vaccination recommendation5,6
  • Monitor immunization rates in your practice using EHR reports
  • Create EHR reminder alerts to follow up with patients who are due for vaccination or series completion
