Meningococcal Vaccines: Protection Against a Potentially Deadly Disease

What are meningococcal vaccines?

Meningococcal vaccines are vaccines that help prevent meningococcal disease, which is caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis. There are several different meningococcal vaccines that are available globally to protect against the leading disease-causing serogroups. The first vaccine was introduced in the 1970s and helped to control epidemics caused by serogroup A and C in Europe and South America. Since then, vaccines for additional serogroups have been developed and introduced across different countries and regions depending on local disease epidemiology and burden.
