NCT ID NCT03621670
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether giving the meningitis B vaccine (Bexsero) and the pneumonia vaccine (PCV13) along with routine baby shots is safe and works well. About 1,200 healthy infants aged 6 to 12 weeks took part. Researchers checked for side effects like pain, redness, fever, and fussiness, and measured immune responses to see if the vaccines triggered protection.
