C. diff vaccine

The C. diff vaccine is designed to protect against Clostridioides difficile infection, a bacterial illness that causes severe diarrhea and colon inflammation, often after antibiotic use. The vaccine helps your immune system recognize and fight the bacteria or its toxins before infection occurs. While not yet widely available, it aims to reduce the risk and severity of infections, especially in healthcare settings or vulnerable populations. The vaccine works by stimulating immunity, decreasing the chances of getting sick or experiencing complications related to C. diff.
