A member asked:
I read something on the information sheet that said "meningococcal (type c) conjugate vaccine" what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Way vaccine made.: This refers to how the vaccine is made. The meningococcal conjugate vaccines are made by chemically linking the capsular polysaccharide antigens individually to a protein. The vaccines do not contain live bacteria.Meningococcal conjugate vaccines are believed to give better protection and are more effective in young children than the original polysaccharide vaccine.
