Excited to announce the availability of the Meningococcal B Vaccine (Group B Meningitis), Bexsero, in SA and Fourways Baby and Family Clinic

The vaccine can be given from 8 weeks of age, to 50 years of age, and this is a huge step in being able to protect against this often devastating serotype of IMD.

‘Serogroup B is currently the dominant serogroup causing invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in South Africa, particularly among infants. Since 2016, serogroup B has replaced serogroup W as the most common cause of the disease. Other serogroups (W, Y, and C) also circulate.’

It's a common anti-vaxxer trope that "vaccines overwhelm the immune system". It's utter nonsense.

ALT TEXT: a meme by Refutations to Anti-Vaccine Memes with an image of a petri dish, with various microorganisms growing in the shape of a hand. The meme is headlined with the question and answer:

Can the antigens in Vaccines 'overload' the immune system?

No.

The description of the petri dish image reads:

This is a child's handprint after playing outside. He has been exposed to many bacteria, yeasts and fungi - thousands of new antigens every day.

In the entire childhood vaccination schedule there are only a few hundred antigens. They can't possibly overload the immune system.

The immune system responds to vaccine antigens in the same way as those encountered 'in the wild' every day.
