gonorrhoea vaccine in UK

[Iker80]

Looks like the UK has now giving a vaccine that make it less easy to get gonorrhoea. It's a meningitis vaccine that they discovered also prevents 30-40% of gonorrhoea because they're similar bacteria.

I'm going to try getting it in my own country as it's an available vaccine called Bexsero. It's an interesting change to have something for gonorrhoea, and maybe something more effective will be made in the future.

So things moved fast when I found a pharmacy to do it and I got a first injection today. I have a sore arm but so far going alright. I don't expect any big side effects anyway, just less chance to get gonorrhoea.

Tried with one medical in the USA and they told me to f*** off because the CDC hasn't approved it.
