Brief summary
The purpose of this US FDA post-marketing commitment study is to evaluate the safety of MenACWY-CRM among 50.000 vaccinated adolescents within a large US Healthcare Maintenance Organization who received MenACWY-CRM vaccination as part of their routine clinical care. The pre-specified 26 events of interest are events commonly evaluated in vaccine safety studies and include certain neurological, immunological, vascular, musculoskeletal and hematologic disorders. All events are collected retrospectively.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Relative incidence (RI) for an Event of Interest (EOI) is calculated using the self controlled case series method. RI is the ratio of the incidence of an EOI in a pre-specified, event-specific risk window relative to the incidence in the control period. | Observational period of 1 year following date of vaccination of that individual. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Frequency (n,%) of each EOI is calculated. | Observational period of 1 year following date of vaccination of that individual. |
| Incidence (n/person yrs) of each EOI is calculated. | Observational period of 1 year following date of vaccination of that individual. |
