What Is the BEXSERO Vaccine Dubai?

The BEXSERO vaccine Dubai is a meningococcal group B (MenB) vaccination designed to protect against Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B, one of the leading causes of bacterial meningitis and bloodstream infections in infants, children, and young adults.

Administered by DHA-licensed physicians at your home, hotel, or clinic across Dubai, BEXSERO is a non-live recombinant vaccine developed by GSK (GlaxoSmithKline). Each 0.5 mL intramuscular dose contains multiple antigenic components (including NHBA, NadA, fHbp, and OMV) that stimulate a strong immune response against MenB bacteria.

Meningococcal disease can progress rapidly — often within hours — making early vaccination critical, especially for children and adolescents. BEXSERO provides targeted protection against this life-threatening infection with high immunogenicity.

Dr. Mauada, DHA-Licensed Physician:
"We frequently administer BEXSERO to infants and young children in Dubai, particularly before nursery enrolment or international travel. Meningitis can develop extremely quickly — vaccination is the most effective protection available."

How Much Does the BEXSERO Vaccine Cost in Dubai?

BEXSERO vaccine Dubai price: 975 AED per 0.5 mL dose — including DHA-licensed clinician, cold-chain maintained vaccine, sterile equipment, pre-vaccination screening, and same-visit certificate.

Who Should Get the BEXSERO Vaccine in Dubai?

Meningococcal B infection is rare but highly severe, with a high risk of complications including brain damage, hearing loss, and death.

The following groups most commonly receive BEXSERO in Dubai:

• Infants from 2 months of age (highest risk group)
• Children and adolescents attending nursery or school
• Teenagers and young adults (increased transmission risk)
• Children traveling internationally or attending camps
• Individuals living in shared accommodation (students, dormitories)
• Patients with weakened immune systems

What Is Inside the BEXSERO Formulation?

Each 0.5 mL dose contains recombinant meningococcal B antigens.

BEXSERO is a non-live vaccine and cannot cause meningococcal disease.

How Does the BEXSERO Vaccine Work?

BEXSERO works by stimulating the immune system to produce bactericidal antibodies against key components of meningococcal B bacteria.

These antibodies:

• Recognise and destroy bacteria before infection occurs
• Prevent bacterial invasion into the bloodstream and brain
• Provide protection against severe meningitis and sepsis
