It does not protect against other types of meningococcal bacteria than groups A, C, W-135, and Y or other causes of\u00a0meningitis\u00a0or\u00a0sepsis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all vaccines, Menveo may not protect 100% of those vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or your child received a&nbsp;dose&nbsp;of Menveo more than a year ago and are still at particular risk of being exposed to group A meningococcal bacteria, you may want to consider a booster dose to maintain protection.&nbsp;Your doctor will advise if and when you should receive a booster dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Menveo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Menveo can be given at the same time as other vaccinations, but other injected vaccines should preferably be given in the other arm than the one in which Menveo is injected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These include the following vaccines: tetanus vaccine,\u00a0diphtheria\u00a0(reduced) and pertussis (acellular, Tdap), human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, yellow fever,\u00a0typhoid fever\u00a0(Vi polysaccharide), Japanese\u00a0encephalitis, rabies,\u00a0hepatitis\u00a0A and B vaccine, and\u00a0meningococcal\u00a0group B (Bexsero).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The effect of Menveo can be reduced if given to people taking medicines that reduce the immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Separate injection sites must be selected if more than one vaccine is to be administered at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.\u00a0Your doctor or nurse may still recommend Menveo if there is an increased risk of\u00a0infection\u00a0with meningococcal bacteria groups A, C, W-135, and Y.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No studies have been performed on the ability to drive or use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dizziness has in very

years), adolescents, and adults.\u00a0Your doctor or nurse will make sure that the vaccine is not given into a blood vessel and that an\u00a0injection\u00a0is given into a muscle and not into the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For children (from 2 years), adolescents, and adults: a single (0.5 ml)\u00a0injection\u00a0is given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The safety and efficacy of Menveo in children under 2 years of age have not yet been established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is limited data for people between 56 and 65 years and there is no data for people older than 65 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you have previously received an&nbsp;injection&nbsp;of Menveo or any other meningococcal vaccine.&nbsp;Your doctor will then tell you if you need another&nbsp;injection&nbsp;of Menveo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on\u00a0the reconstitution\u00a0of the vaccine, please read the section for healthcare professionals at the end of this leaflet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions on
