Implementation Experience With Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccines in the United States: Impact of a Nonroutine Recommendation

Conclusions: Five years of evidence regarding the MenB vaccination implementation experience suggest that the nonstandard recommendation for MenB vaccines is partly responsible for low vaccine coverage. Further, inconsistent implementation of ACIP recommendations could be limiting access to MenB vaccines. Providers need additional support and guidance to implement the shared clinical decision-making recommendation, in turn ensuring equitable access for vaccine-eligible adolescents to enable comprehensive protection against meningococcal disease.
