So glad to see someone making use of 4CMenB to give limited protection against gonorrhea. I have access to two meningitis B vaccines, Trumenba and Bexsero. Since only Bexero has been shown to give this extra protection, it's the one I recommend.

Notoriously difficult to disentangle mortality attributed to #clostridium #difficile and other co-morbidities.
