Menangitis B for 15 months old child

2017-07-27 10:04:22
Hi, We have moved recently to India from UK. In UK we have got Menangitis B (Bexsero Meningococcal group B) Vaccine first dose for my 13 months child. We have to give another dose here in India. Unfortunately we are not getting that vaccine In India. Can anyone help where can we get in Hyderabad India ? OR Anywhere in India?

Meningococcal B vaccine is not available in India as we don't have strain B circulating here so it's not required. Strain B is prevalent in UK & US that's why they give the vaccine there. In India prevalent strain are A& C for which Menectra is available which you can opt once baby is 2years old
