What you'll learn
Upon completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
Review the efficacy and safety of the new tetanus toxoid-conjugate meningococcal vaccine (MenQuadfi).
Discuss the new recommendations for use of booster doses in meningococcal serogroup B vaccination.
Review the meningococcal vaccine efficacy and safety for infants.
Course description
Although rare, people can get meningococcal disease more than once. A previous infection will not offer lifelong protection from future infections. Therefore, CDC recommends meningococcal vaccines for all preteens and teens. In certain situations, children and adults should also get meningococcal vaccines. Keeping up to date with recommended vaccines is the best protection against meningococcal disease. This activity focuses on the efficacy and safety of meningococcal vaccines licensed in the United States: MenACWY and MenB for proper administration.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
