MenACWY

MenACWY Vaccine Recommendations:

Meningococcal ACWY (MenACWY) vaccine can help protect against meningococcal disease caused by serogroups A, C, W, and Y. A different meningococcal vaccine is available that can help protect against serogroup B. The MenACWY vaccine series (2 doses) is recommended for children 11-12 years of age and 16-18 years of age.  The first dose is required for all children entering 7th grade and the second dose is required for all children entering 12th grade in Virginia.

You can learn more about meningococcal vaccines here: https://www.cdc.gov/meningococcal/vaccines/index.html 

All vaccine data on this page are reflective of doses reported to Virginia's Immunization Information System. VDH has set the maximum coverage rates displayed at 95% for this dashboard due to possible imprecision in the population estimates, as the denominator for these is census single-race population estimates. The data is refreshed weekly on Tuesdays and represents the selected age as of the refresh date.

Data is suppressed when the count of the number vaccinated is between 1-9, to preserve anonymity.

Population estimates data source: 2023 American Community Survey (ACS) population estimates.
