What is Trumenba?
Meningococcal disease is a serious infection caused by a bacteria. Meningococcal bacteria can infect the spinal cord and brain, causing meningitis that can be fatal. Meningococcal disease can also lead to permanent and disabling medical problems.
Meningococcal disease can spread from one person to another through small droplets of saliva released into the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The bacteria can also live on things the infected person has touched, such as a door handle or other surface. The bacteria can also be passed through kissing, or sharing a drinking glass or eating utensil with an infected person.
Meningococcal disease is more likely to occur in babies younger than 1 year, in young people ages 16 to 23 years, in anyone with a weak immune system, and in anyone exposed to an outbreak of the disease.
Trumenba is used to prevent infection caused by serogroup B meningococcal bacteria. This vaccine contains four common strains of group B meningococcal bacteria.
This vaccine helps your body develop immunity to meningitis, but will not treat an active infection you already have.
Trumenba is for use in children and young adults who are 10 to 25 years old. The Centers for Disease Control recommends that the best time to get this vaccine is between the ages of 16 and 18 years old.
Like any vaccine, the Trumenba may not provide protection from disease in every person.
Important Information
You should not receive this vaccine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Trumenba.
Before taking this medicine
You should not receive this vaccine if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Trumenba.
If you have any of these other conditions, your vaccine may need to be postponed or not given at all:
-
an allergy to latex rubber;
-
any condition that weakens the immune system (such as HIV, AIDS, or cancer); or
-
a condition for which you are receiving steroids, chemotherapy, or radiation treatments.
You can still receive a vaccine if you have a minor cold. In the case of a more severe illness with a fever or any type of infection, wait until you get better before receiving this vaccine.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Your doctor will determine whether you need this vaccine.
How is this vaccine given?
This vaccine is given as an injection (shot) into a muscle. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.
Trumenba is recommended if:
-
you have been exposed to an outbreak of meningococcal disease;
-
you work in a laboratory and are exposed to meningococcal bacteria;
-
you have a medical problem affecting your spleen, or your spleen has been removed;
-
you use a medicine called eculizumab (Soliris); or
-
you have an immune system disorder called “persistent complement component deficiency.”
Trumenba is given in a series of 2 or 3 shots. Booster shots are given at 1 or 2 months after the first shot. A third shot if needed is given 6 months after the first shot.
Your booster schedule may be different from these guidelines. Follow your doctor’s instructions or the schedule recommended by your local health department.
There are other types of meningococcal vaccine available. When you receive a booster dose, make sure you are receiving a vaccine for meningococcal serogroup B and not for serogroups A, C, W, or Y.
Be sure to receive all recommended doses of this vaccine or you may not be fully protected against disease.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Contact your doctor if you miss a booster dose or if you get behind schedule. The next dose should be given as soon as possible. There is no need to start over.
What happens if I overdose?
An overdose of this vaccine is unlikely to occur.
What should I avoid before or after receiving this vaccine?
Follow your doctor’s instructions about any restrictions on food, beverages, or activity.
This vaccine side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. When you receive a booster dose, you will need to tell the doctor if the previous shot caused any side effects.
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Becoming infected with meningococcal disease and developing meningitis (infection of the spinal cord and lining of the brain) is much more dangerous to your health than receiving this vaccine. However, like any medicine, this vaccine can cause side effects but the risk of serious side effects is extremely low.
You may feel faint after receiving this vaccine. Some people have had seizure-like reactions after receiving this vaccine. Your doctor may want you to remain under observation during the first 15 minutes after the injection.
Common side effects may include:
-
fever, chills;
-
headache;
-
feeling tired;
-
muscle or joint pain;
-
nausea, diarrhea; or
-
pain, redness, swelling, or a hard lump where the shot was given.
