About Meningitis B & the Vaccine

What is Meningitis B?

Meningitis B is a serious bacterial infection caused by Neisseria meningitidis group B. It leads to inflammation of the brain and spinal cord and can cause life-threatening sepsis. The infection spreads through respiratory droplets and close contact, particularly in young children, teenagers, or people in shared living spaces like hostels or barracks.

Travel-Focused Vaccine Information

The Meningitis B vaccine (commonly Bexsero) is recommended for those at increased risk, including travellers to regions with outbreaks, individuals with certain medical conditions, and infants. It’s typically given in a 2 or 3-dose course depending on age and medical background. High-risk travellers should aim to complete the series before departure.
