What is Trumenba and what is it used for?
Trumenba is a vaccine to prevent invasive meningococcal disease, caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B, for use in people 10 years and older. This is a type of bacteria that 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 contains 2 important components from the surface of the bacteria.

The vaccine works by helping the body to make antibodies (the body’s natural defences) which protect against this disease.
