&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff9900;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Is the MenB Vaccine for Gonorrhea? A Promising Step in STI Prevention&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Growing scientific evidence suggests that vaccines initially designed to protect against meningococcal group B (MenB)&amp;mdash;a leading cause of meningitis and septicemia&amp;mdash;may also provide partial protection against gonorrhea, a common and increasingly antibiotic-resistant sexually transmitted infection (STI). This dual benefit could mark a significant advancement in public health, especially among adolescents and young adults.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The MenB vaccine, commercially known as &lt;strong&gt;Bexsero&lt;/strong&gt;, is already part of routine childhood immunization programs in several countries. It works by targeting outer membrane proteins found on the surface of Neisseria meningitidis (the bacteria that cause MenB disease). Interestingly, these proteins are also present in &lt;em&gt;Neisseria gonorrhoeae&lt;/em&gt;, the bacterium responsible for gonorrhea, sharing up to 90% of genetic material. This genetic similarity has led researchers to investigate the MenB vaccine&amp;rsquo;s potential cross-protection.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Evidence is mounting. Studies from New Zealand, the US, and South Australia &amp;nbsp;(&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(21)00754-4/fulltext&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;published in Lancet Infectious Diseases)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt; have shown that recipients of the Bexsero vaccine are significantly less likely to contract gonorrhoea. For example, real-world data from South Australia showed a &lt;strong&gt;33% reduction&lt;/strong&gt; in gonorrhea cases among those vaccinated with 2 doses of Bexsero. Additional studies in New York and Southern California (&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35642527/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a new study from Southern California&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;) report vaccine effectiveness rates ranging from &lt;strong&gt;26% to 46%&lt;/strong&gt;, depending on the population and dosage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These findings are especially relevant at a time when gonorrhea rates are on the rise globally and treatment options are increasingly compromised by antibiotic resistance. With the &lt;strong&gt;World Health Organization estimating 82 million new gonorrhea cases annually&lt;/strong&gt;, the possibility of a vaccine that can protect against both meningitis and gonorrhoea is a game-changer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-pm-slice=&quot;0 0 []&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff9900;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Should You Get Vaccinated Now?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whether you want to safeguard your brain, your blood, or your sexual health, the MenB vaccine offers strong protection. Here&amp;rsquo;s why getting vaccinated now makes sense:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shields you from the serious threat of meningitis B&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Might lower your chances of contracting gonorrhea&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Supports the fight against antibiotic resistance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Proven to be safe, effective, and easy to tolerate&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Moves you closer to a healthier and safer sex life&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;MenB is &lt;strong&gt;not a &lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff6600;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/gonorrhea-testing-and-chlamydia-testing&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;gonorrhea&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;-specific vaccine&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;but offers &lt;strong&gt;cross-protection&lt;/strong&gt; due to the similarity between the bacteria.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gonorrhea is becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics, making prevention strategies even more critical.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Regular STI screening&lt;/strong&gt; is still essential, especially for those who are sexually active.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
