BEXSERO is a vaccine approved for 10- through 25-year-olds to prevent meningococcal group B disease (also known as meningitis B) caused by Neisseria meningitidis 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).
BEXSERO is a 2-dose vaccine series given in the muscle of the upper arm. The second dose should be given at least one month after the first dose.
