Meningococcal B vaccine is a vaccine that protects against infection by the meningococcal B bacteria. This vaccine helps the body build immunity to meningococcal type B, thereby reducing the risk of infection. Vaccination against meningococcal type B is usually started in infancy and can be given to adults. In Hong Kong, meningococcal type B vaccine is usually recommended for students, travelers or other high-risk groups. Mild side effects from the vaccine, such as redness, swelling, or warmth at the injection site, may occur, but are usually temporary. If you have any questions or need more information about meningococcal B vaccine, please talk to your doctor or healthcare professional.
How to use: Meningococcal B vaccine is usually given by injection, which is injected into the muscle or under the skin. It is usually not taken with food, but people should avoid taking certain medications, such as antibiotics, before vaccination. You may experience mild discomfort after the vaccination, but in most cases it is temporary.
Dosage Guidelines: The recommended dose for adults and adolescents is a single 0.5 mL dose. For children, dosage will vary based on age and medical advice. Children usually receive a first dose at a certain age and then a second dose to increase protection. For younger children, the dose may need to be adjusted to ensure safety and effectiveness. During the vaccination process, medical staff will provide appropriate dosage recommendations based on the patient's specific condition. Pay close attention to any adverse reactions after vaccination and consult your healthcare provider if necessary.
Taking meningococcal B vaccine may cause mild discomfort such as local redness, swelling, pain, or fever at the injection site. A few people may experience mild symptoms such as headache, nausea, muscle pain or fatigue. Severe allergic reactions, although rare, may occur. If you experience serious adverse reactions such as difficulty breathing, facial swelling, or itching all over the body, seek medical attention immediately. After vaccination, keep the injection site clean, observe your body's reactions, and consult a doctor promptly if you experience persistent discomfort.
