Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: in children, vaccinated with 4CMenB between 12 and 24 months of age, there is a fall in protective antibodies at 4 years of age, which would justify a booster dose in cases with high risk.

Reviewers’ commentary: although, in an epidemic setting, the primary vaccination with two doses of 4cMenB in the second year of life is protective, the need of scheduling a booster dose in the vaccination calendar should be carefully evaluated.
