Give menactra or Menveo. Menactra 2 doses for less than 2 years and 1 dose for more than 2 years kids.
Menveo is given after 2 years as 1 dose.

Meningococcal vaccination is not mandatory. Usually it's given in some special situations.
If you still want to give, it's fine.
No gap needed as it's not a live vaccine.
Brand Name: MENACTRA
