What Nimenrix is and what it is used for
What Nimenrix is and what it is used for
Nimenrix is a vaccine which helps protect against infections caused by
bacteria (germs) called
“Neisseria meningitidis" types A, C, W-135 and Y.
“Neisseria meningitidis" types A, C, W-135 and Y bacteria can cause
serious illnesses such as:
meningitis - an infection of the tissue that lines the brain and
spinal cord.
septicaemia - an infection of the blood.
These infections are passed easily from person to person and can cause
death if not treated.
Nimenrix may be given to adults, adolescents, children and infants
over the age of 6 weeks.
How Nimenrix works
Nimenrix helps your body to produce its own protection (antibodies)
against the bacteria. These
antibodies help protect you against the diseases.
Nimenrix will only protect against infections caused by the bacteria
“Neisseria meningitidis” types A,
C, W-135 and Y.
