Vgetra (Children’s Vaccine)

Vgetra is a vaccine designed to protect children from serious bacterial infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis, commonly known as meningococcus. These infections can lead to severe illnesses like meningitis (brain and spinal cord inflammation) and septicemia (blood poisoning). Vgetra stimulates the child's immune system to recognize and fight the bacteria if exposed in the future, reducing the risk of illness. It is typically administered through injections and is part of routine immunization schedules to ensure children are protected against these potentially life-threatening diseases.
