1. What is Trumenba and what is it used for
Trumenba is a vaccine to prevent invasive meningococcal disease, caused by Neisseria meningitidisserogroup B, for use in individuals 10 years of age and older. This type of bacteria can cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections, such as meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord) and sepsis (blood infection).
The vaccine contains 2 important components of the surface of the bacteria.
The vaccine works by helping the body to produce antibodies (the body's natural defenses) that protect you or your child against this disease.
