Investigating the Immunogenicity of a U.S.-Licensed Meningococcal Serogroup B Vaccine (Trumenba)

Summary

This study will investigate the breadth of protection against meningococcal disease in humans immunized with a newly FDA approved meningococcal B vaccine, trade name "Trumenba®" manufactured by Pfizer Vaccines. As a secondary goal the investigators will investigate underlying mechanisms by which human anti-FHbp antibodies elicit complement-mediated bactericidal activity.
