  2. We've known for a while that the Bexsero brand #meningitis B vaccine provides limited (30-40%) protection against #gonorrhea, too. Now the UK has approved the #vaccine to be used against the #STI, offering it to men who have sex with men.

    If you're in the US and considering a meningitis vaccine for yourself or your teenage child, note that Bexsero helps prevent gonorrhea but Trumenba, the other brand available, does not.

  7. A lot of people I know don’t seem to have heard this, but the #MenB vaccine shows ~40% efficacy against #gonorrhoea and is well worth a shot (ba-dum-tish) if you are gay/bi/msm man on #PrEP ± #doxyPEP. JCVI recommended it back in 2023 but Tories and now Shit-wipe Streeting of the Red Fascists have sat on their hands as with doxyPEP. In UK, Boots offer MenB for ~£100

Key changes include 1) the switch from the 23-valent polysaccharide to the 20-valent conjugate vaccine for prevention of pneumococcal infections in the elderly and 2) the universal recommendation for the vaccination of infants against serogroup B meningococci (#menB).
