Warnings and Precautions

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Management of Acute Allergic Reactions

Appropriate medical treatment used to manage immediate allergic reactions must be immediately available in the event an anaphylactic reaction occurs following administration of PENBRAYA.

5.2 Syncope

Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines, including PENBRAYA. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.

5.3 Altered Immunocompetence

Reduced Immune Response

Some individuals with altered immunocompetence may have reduced immune responses to PENBRAYA.

Complement Deficiency

Individuals with certain complement deficiencies and individuals receiving treatment that inhibits terminal complement activation are at increased risk for invasive disease caused by N. meningitidis groups A, B, C, W, and Y, even if they develop antibodies following vaccination with PENBRAYA [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.1)].

5.4 Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness

Vaccination with PENBRAYA may not protect all vaccine recipients.

5.5 Tetanus Immunization

Vaccination with PENBRAYA does not substitute for vaccination with a tetanus toxoid containing vaccine to prevent tetanus.

5.6 Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has been reported in temporal relationship following administration of another U.S.-licensed meningococcal quadrivalent polysaccharide conjugate vaccine. The decision by the healthcare professional to administer PENBRAYA to persons with a history of GBS should take into account the expected benefits and potential risks.
