Bexsero contains four different components from the surface of the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis
group B.
Bexsero is given to individuals from 2 months of age and older to help protect against disease caused
by the Neisseria meningitidis group B 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).
The vaccine works by specifically stimulating the body’s natural defense system of the vaccinated
person. This results in protection against the disease.
