Full Prescribing Info
Use In Pregnancy & Lactation
Insufficient clinical data on exposed pregnancies are available.
In non-clinical studies, Menveo had no direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to pregnancy, embryonal/foetal development, parturition or postnatal development. Considering the severity of invasive meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, W and Y, pregnancy should not preclude vaccination when the risk of exposure is clearly defined.
Although insufficient clinical data on the use of Menveo during breast-feeding are available, it is unlikely that secreted antibodies in milk would be harmful when ingested by a breastfed infant. Therefore, Menveo may be used during breast feeding.
