▪ Ongoing outbreaks of hepatitis A in adults in a number of states, has substantially increased the demand for vaccine and constrained supply

▪ HepA vaccine manufacturers (GlaxoSmithKline and Merck Vaccines) also report an unexpected demand globally which has constrained supply

▪ CDC staff are working with public health officials to provide guidance about how best to target vaccine distribution

▪ Vaccine manufacturers are exploring options to increase domestic supply and working with CDC to monitor and manage public and private vaccine orders to make the best use supplies of the adult vaccine

▪ NOTE: Supply constraints do NOT apply to pediatric HepA vaccine

CDC Current Vaccine Shortages & Delays https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/clinical-resources/shortages.html

▪ Merck is not currently distributing the hepatitis B vaccine: • Adult formulation: Does not expect to be distributing vaccine

between now and the end of 2018• Pediatric formulations will be unavailable between early August

2017 and early 2018▪ Merck’s supply of the dialysis formulation of Hepatitis B vaccine is

not affected▪ GSK has sufficient supplies of adult and pediatric Hepatitis B

vaccines to address these anticipated gap in Merck’s supply • Preferences for a specific presentation (i.e., vial versus syringe)

may not be consistently met

▪Persons aged 10 years and older who are at increased risk for meningococcal disease should receive MenB vaccine* including persons with: • Persons with persistent complement component deficiencies• Persons with anatomic or functional asplenia• Microbiologists routinely exposed to isolates of Neisseria

meningitidis• Persons identified as at increased risk because of a serogroup

B meningococcal disease outbreak

Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccine

*Category A

MMWR 2015 64(22); 608-612

▪Adolescents and young adults 16 through 23 years of age may be given MenB vaccine to provide short-term protection against most strains of serogroup B meningococcal disease*

▪Clinical considerations: • 2 MenB vaccine products are available

1. MenB-4C (Bexsero) 2. MenB-FHbp (Trumenba)

• ACIP does not express a preference for the product used • The series should be completed with the same product

▪Changes to the dosage and administration section for MenB-FHbp approved by FDA on April 14, 2016

▪ FDA approved schedules: • 3-dose schedule: 0, 2, and 6 months• 2-dose schedule: 0 and 6 months

▪Recommended schedule is based on the risk of exposure and the patient’s susceptibility to meningococcal serogroup B disease

Use of 2- and 3-Dose Schedules of MenB-FHbp (Trumenba) Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccine

MMWR 2017 66(19);509–513

▪ Follow the 3-dose schedule for persons at increased risk for meningococcal disease and during serogroup B outbreaks• Administer 3 doses of Trumenba at 0, 1-2, 6 months intervals to

provide early protection and maximize short-term immunogenicity • However, if the second dose of Trumenba is administered at an

interval of 6 months or more, a third dose does not need to be administered

▪ Follow the 2-dose schedule for healthy adolescents who are not at increased risk for meningococcal disease• Administer 2 doses of Trumenba at 0 and 6 months intervals

▪National spontaneous (or passive) reporting system for adverse events (AEs) after US-licensed vaccines • In recent years, received around 35,000 US reports annually • Accepts reports from health care providers, manufacturers, and the

public• Signs/symptoms of adverse event are coded using MedDRA terms and

entered into database• Primarily for signal detection and hypothesis generation

▪ Jointly administered by CDC and FDA since 1990

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)

Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System: https://vaers.hhs.gov/

MedDRA: http://www.meddra.org/

Strengths

▪ National data; accepts reports from anyone

▪ Can rapidly detect safety signals

▪ Can detect rare adverse events

▪ Data available to public

Limitations▪ Reporting bias

▪ Inconsistent data quality and completeness

▪ Lack of unvaccinated comparison group

▪ Generally cannot assess if vaccine or error caused an adverse health event

▪ VAERS coding practices can affect types and numbers of errors reported
