What is the Meningitis B vaccine?
The Meningitis B vaccine (Bexsero) is used to help protect against Neisseria meningitidis group B, a serious bacterial infection associated with meningitis B. It is a prescription-only vaccine supplied as an injection in a pre-filled syringe.
Who may be eligible for the Meningitis B vaccine?

How is the vaccine given?
The vaccine is given by intramuscular injection, usually into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. For young children, it may be given into the anterolateral thigh. It should not be given where there is thrombocytopenia or a clotting disorder that would make intramuscular injection unsuitable.
How many doses are needed?
For Bexsero, the dose is 0.5 ml and two doses are required, given at least 1 month apart. The need for booster doses has not been established.
