How often do i need a meningitis b shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This vaccine is not recommended routinely after age 56 in people with a normal immune system. It is rarely recommended in older adults unless there is a B outbreak & then limited to those with an immune defect that places them at higher risk. If so the use would be directed by the doc managing the case.
