Summary

In 2006–2022, 958 cases of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) were reported to the surveillance programme in the Czech Republic, of which 21 (2.19%) had a history of vaccination with one of the meningococcal vaccines. Data analysis shows that these vaccines provide a very good protection against IMD. It was found that vaccinated patients with IMD either were not vaccinated against the causative serogroup and/or did not receive a booster dose. The results of this analysis show the benefit of both vaccines available in the Czech Republic: recombinant vaccine containing meningococcal serogroup B antigens (MenB vaccine) and tetravalent conjugate vaccine containing antigens of four meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, Y (A, C, W, Y conjugate vaccine). The results also show the benefit of meningococcal vaccine booster doses and the need for giving MenB vaccine to young children as early as possible.
