What Is Meningococcal B?

Meningococcal B (MenB) is a serious bacterial infection caused by the Neisseria meningitidis group B bacteria. It is a leading cause of meningitis (inflammation of the protective layers around the brain and spinal cord) and septicaemia (blood poisoning), which can be life-threatening. The disease spreads through close contact, coughing, sneezing, or saliva exchange and primarily affects babies, young children, and teenagers.

How to Prevent Meningococcal B?

The MenB vaccine is the most effective way to protect against this dangerous disease. It is offered to babies under 1 year as part of the NHS routine immunisation schedule, but older children, teenagers, and adults at risk can also receive it privately.
