Serogroup B (MenB) is among the most common types of meningococci, particularly affecting infants, adolescents, young adults, and frequent travelers. In many countries, protection against MenB remains incomplete; and in Russia and Eastern Europe, MenB is not included in national immunization programs, leaving large populations vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>Our clinic in Istanbul is one of the few centers offering the full-dose Bexsero (Meningococcal B) vaccine to help close this protection gap. We provide safe, professional, and internationally standardized vaccination services for both children and adults. Like many of our patients from Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, you can safely receive your MenB vaccination during a brief visit to Istanbul.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i\"><\/span>What Is the MenB Vaccine and Why Is It Important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Russia, Belarus, and several Eastern European countries, national vaccination policies largely focus on MenC and MenACWY vaccines. These vaccines are important for community immunity but do not provide protection against MenB.\n\nAs a result:<br \/>\n\u2022Infants aged 0\u20132<br \/>\n\u2022Young people aged 16\u201325<br \/>\n\u2022Students living in dormitories<br \/>\n\u2022Military personnel<br \/>\n\u2022International travelers<br \/>\nImmunocompromised individuals<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Immunocompromised individuals<\/p>\n<p>Traditional \u201cconjugate vaccine technology\u201d cannot be used for MenB, which is why this serogroup remained without effective vaccine protection for many years. Bexsero is a modern protein-based vaccine developed specifically to address this gap and is one of the most effective individual protection methods against MenB.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-2\"><\/span>Why Isn\u2019t MenB Included in National Programs in Russia and Eastern Europe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Russia, Belarus, and several Eastern European countries, national vaccination policies largely focus on MenC and MenACWY vaccines.

For this reason, demand for MenB vaccination from Russia and Eastern Europe has been increasing each year, with many choosing Turkey as a trustworthy destination for modern and accessible care.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"i-3\"><\/span>Why Should You Receive the Bexsero Vaccine in Istanbul?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Istanbul is one of the most preferred medical destinations for patients from Russia and Eastern Europe.
