Be sure to notify your doctor of any side effects that occur after you receive this vaccine.
This vaccine may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, which can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, a fast heartbeat, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth after receiving the vaccine.
Fainting may occur while you are receiving this vaccine. Your doctor may want you to be observed after you get the injection to prevent and manage fainting.
The tip caps of Bexsero® prefilled syringes contain dry natural rubber (a derivative of latex), which may cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to latex.
It is important that your doctor should know about all other vaccines you or your child have recently received, including a flu shot.
This vaccine may not protect everyone who receives it. It will not treat symptoms of meningococcal infection if you already have the disease.
