*Human serum bactericidal antibody titers against 6 meningococcal group W clinical isolates belonging to ST-11 clonal complex using pooled serum from adolescents immunized with the MenACWY conjugate vaccine, Menveo, and from infants immunized with the protein-based, multicomponent meningococcal vaccine, Bexsero. †Pooled serum samples from adolescents 11–17 years of age before and 1 month after receiving a single dose of MenACWY (Menveo) conjugate vaccine (n = 10). ‡Pooled prevaccination serum samples from infants at 2 months of age (n = 180) (control). §Pooled serum samples from infants who received 3 doses of vaccine at 2, 3, and 4 months of age and had a blood sample taken 1 month after the last dose of vaccine (n = 56). ¶Pooled serum samples from infants who received 3 doses of vaccine at 2, 4, and 6 months of age and had a blood sample taken 1 month after the last dose of vaccine (n = 47). #Pooled serum samples from infants who received 3 doses of vaccine at 2, 4, and 6 months of age plus a booster at 12 months and had a blood sample taken 1 month after the booster (n = 72). **Pooled serum samples from an additional cohort of infants who also received 3 doses of vaccine at 2, 4, and 6 months of age plus a booster at 12 months and had a blood sample taken 1 month after the booster (n = 94).
