As a researcher and vaccine specialist Dr Petousis-Harris sees our battle with pneumococcal and meningococcal disease as an ongoing battle with a microbe that does not discriminate. In our discussion, Dr Petousis-Harris provides an insight as to who is most at risk of infection, the various forms of pneumococcal and meningococcal disease, and the vaccines that are currently available in NZ to protect against these diseases. We specifically discuss the meningococcal B vaccine and the quadrivalent ACWY vaccine.
