Bexsero Vaccines Meningococcal
- Manufactured by : Novartis
How It Works
Bexsero works by stimulating the body’s immune system to recognize and fight the Neisseria meningitidis group B bacteria. The vaccine contains proteins from the surface of the bacteria, which are recognized as foreign by the immune system. This triggers the production of antibodies that can fight the actual bacteria if the vaccinated individual is exposed to it in the future. The immune system “remembers” the bacteria, allowing it to mount a rapid and effective response to subsequent infections.
