Coagulation Defects and Disorders

Moderate:

Menveo

The meningococcal conjugate vaccine in Menveo has a moderate potential interaction with Coagulation Defects and Disorders.

In patients with thrombocytopenia or coagulation disorders, IM injections may produce bleeding and hematomas. Patients with a platelet count less than 50,000/mm3 are at an increased risk. Caution is advised if the vaccine (e.g., plague vaccine; hepatitis A and B vaccines; aluminum-adsorbed DTaP, DTP, DT, or Td) must be administered IM. The risk of bleeding may be minimized by vaccination immediately after the administration of replacement factor, use of a 23-gauge (or smaller) needle, and immediate application of direct pressure to the vaccination site for at least 2 minutes.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Major:

Agriflu

The influenza virus vaccine, inactivated in Agriflu has a major potential interaction with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

The use of influenza vaccine has been associated with an elevated risk of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). It is not recommended to administer this vaccine if GBS has occurred within 6 weeks following previous influenza vaccination. Care and close monitoring is recommended and consideration of the potential benefits and risks should be assessed.

Moderate:

Menveo

The meningococcal conjugate vaccine in Menveo has a moderate potential interaction with Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Persons previously diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) may be at increased risk of GBS following receipt of meningococcal conjugate vaccine. The decision to give this vaccine should take into account the potential benefits and risks.

Immunodeficiency

Moderate:

Agriflu

The influenza virus vaccine, inactivated in Agriflu has a moderate potential interaction with Immunodeficiency.

The expected serum antibody responses may not be obtained when vaccines and/or toxoids are administered to patients with primary or acquired immunodeficiency, including those with severe combined immunodeficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia or agammaglobulinemia, HIV infection, altered immune states (due to diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, or generalized malignancy), or immunosuppression due to drug or other treatments (e.g., corticosteroids, alkylating agents, antimetabolites, or radiation).

Moderate:

Menveo

The meningococcal conjugate vaccine in Menveo has a moderate potential interaction with Immunodeficiency.

The expected antibody responses may not be obtained when live attenuated vaccines and/or toxoids are administered to immunosuppressed persons, including those receiving immunosuppressive therapy. Caution and close monitoring is advised.

Thrombocytopathy

Moderate:

Menveo

The meningococcal conjugate vaccine in Menveo has a moderate potential interaction with Thrombocytopathy.

In patients with thrombocytopenia or coagulation disorders, IM injections may produce bleeding and hematomas. Patients with a platelet count less than 50,000/mm3 are at an increased risk. Caution is advised if the vaccine (e.g., plague vaccine; hepatitis A and B vaccines; aluminum-adsorbed DTaP, DTP, DT, or Td) must be administered IM. The risk of bleeding may be minimized by vaccination immediately after the administration of replacement factor, use of a 23-gauge (or smaller) needle, and immediate application of direct pressure to the vaccination site for at least 2 minutes.

Thrombocytopenia

Moderate:

Menveo

The meningococcal conjugate vaccine in Menveo has a moderate potential interaction with Thrombocytopenia.

In patients with thrombocytopenia or coagulation disorders, IM injections may produce bleeding and hematomas. Patients with a platelet count less than 50,000/mm3 are at an increased risk. Caution is advised if the vaccine (e.g., plague vaccine; hepatitis A and B vaccines; aluminum-adsorbed DTaP, DTP, DT, or Td) must be administered IM. The risk of bleeding may be minimized by vaccination immediately after the administration of replacement factor, use of a 23-gauge (or smaller) needle, and immediate application of direct pressure to the vaccination site for at least 2 minutes.
