Menactra Vaccine Recipients
Participants who received Menactra vaccine as part of routine medical care during the study period in Kaiser Permanente.

Biological: None administered in this study
N/A in this study |
Age-Matched Control
Each individual receiving Menactra vaccine served as their own control for evaluation of acute (Days 0-30) events (short-term surveillance). For the 6-month (long-term) surveillance, for each person receiving Menactra vaccine, a control matched on age (± 1 year), sex, and month of vaccination was selected who received a received tetanus and diphtheria toxoids (Td), hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis A/hepatitis B combination vaccine as part of routine medical care during the same month 1 year earlier in Kaiser Permanente

- Summary of Diagnoses With Significantly Elevated Findings From Risk-Window vs. Control-Window Comparisons: All Ages Combined - Short-Term Passive Surveillance [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 60 post-vaccination ]Incidence rates for each diagnosis were calculated as the number of events divided by person-time and expressed as events per 1,000 person-months in each 30-day comparison window. Individuals receiving Menactra vaccine served as their own controls for evaluation of acute (Days 0-30) events. Rates of events occurring during Days 0-30 following vaccination were compared to rates of events occurring during Days 31-60 following vaccination. Clinical setting is given in parenthesis as either (H) for hospital or (ER) for emergency room.
- Summary of Diagnoses With Significantly Elevated Findings for Menactra Vaccine Recipients vs. Age-Matched Controls - All Ages Combined - Long-Term Passive Surveillance [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 180 post-vaccination ]Incidence rates for each diagnosis were calculated as the number of events divided by person-time and expressed as events per 1,000 person-months in the 6-month surveillance period. For each individual receiving Menactra vaccine, a control matched on age (± 1 year), sex, and month of vaccination was selected who received a vaccination during the same month 1 year earlier. Rates of events occurring during the 6 months following vaccination with Menactra vaccine were compared to rates of events occurring during the 6 months following vaccination in age-matched controls. Clinical setting is given in parenthesis as either (H) for hospital or (ER) for emergency room.
- Summary of Diagnoses With Significantly Elevated Findings From Risk-Window vs. Control-Window Comparisons - By Age Categories - Short-Term Passive Surveillance [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 60 post-vaccination ]Incidence rates for each diagnosis were calculated as the number of events divided by person-time and expressed as events per 1,000 person-months for each 30-day comparison window. Individuals receiving Menactra vaccine served as their own controls for evaluation of acute (Days 0-30) events.

For each individual receiving Menactra vaccine, a control matched on age (± 1 year), sex, and month of vaccination was selected who received a vaccination during the same month 1 year earlier. Rates of events occurring during the 6 months following vaccination with Menactra vaccine were compared to rates of events occurring during the 6 months following vaccination in age-matched controls. Clinical setting is given in parenthesis as (C) for pre-specified adverse events, (H) for hospital, (ER) for emergency room.
- Summary of Diagnoses With Significantly Reduced Findings for Menactra Vaccine Recipients vs. Age-Matched Controls - All Ages Combined - Long-Term Passive Surveillance [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Day 180 post-vaccination ]Incidence rates for each diagnosis were calculated as the number of events divided by person-time and expressed as events per 1,000 person-months in the 6-month surveillance period. For each individual receiving Menactra vaccine, a control matched on age (± 1 year), sex, and month of vaccination was selected who received a vaccination during the same month 1 year earlier.

- Rates of Serious Adverse Events Per 1000 Doses During 6 Months After Menactra Vaccination - ER Setting - All Ages Combined. [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to 6 months post-vaccination ]Only persons who received Menactra vaccine during the study period were surveyed and included in this outcome.
- Rates of Serious Adverse Events Per 1000 Doses at During 6 Months After Menactra Vaccination - Hospital Setting - All Ages Combined [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to 6 months post-vaccination ]Only persons who received Menactra vaccine during the study period were surveyed and included in this outcome.
- Summary of Reported Pregnancy Outcomes in Menactra Vaccine Recipients Pregnant at or Within 28 Days After Vaccination [ Time Frame: Day 0 up to Determination of Pregnancy Outcome ]Only persons who received Menactra vaccine during the study period were included in this outcome.
