WHAT BEXSERO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Bexsero is a Meningococcal group B Vaccine.
Bexsero contains four different components from the surface of the
bacteria
_ Neisseria meningitidis_
group B.
Bexsero is given to individuals from 2 months of age and older to help
protect against disease caused
by the
_Neisseria meningitidis_
group B bacteria. These bacteria can cause serious, and sometimes
life-threatening, infections such as meningitis (inflammation of the
covering of the brain and spinal
cord) and sepsis (blood poisoning).
The vaccine works by specifically stimulating the body’s natural
defense system of the vaccinated
person. This results in protection against the disease.
