Abstract

Bexsero® (GlaxoSmithKline) is a four-component Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B vaccine (MenB-4C). It was licensed in the United States in 2015 for use among individuals ages 10-25 years. We aimed to assess the post-licensure safety profile of MenB-4C by examining reports received in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
