Abstract
- Vaccine co-administration is a useful strategy for improving vaccine coverage and adherence. In Italy, an update to the national immunization program (NIP) in 2023 included recommendations for co-administration of pediatric vaccines, including the four-component vaccine for meningococcus B (4CMenB), pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), hexavalent vaccines, and oral rotavirus vaccines. Safety is a major concern when considering vaccine co-administration; therefore, a literature review of the available evidence on 4CMenB co-administration with PCV, hexavalent/pentavalent, and rotavirus vaccines was performed. Of 763 publications screened, two studies were reviewed that reported safety data on 4CMenB co-administration with PCV, hexavalent/pentavalent, and rotavirus vaccines in infants aged 0-24 months. Overall, these studies supported that there were no significant safety signals when co-administering 4CMenB with PCV, hexavalent/pentavalent, and rotavirus vaccines, compared with individual vaccination. This review provides key insights for healthcare professionals on the tolerability of co-administering 4CMenB with routine vaccines.
