Overview

Conjugate vaccines are special types of vaccines that are designed to be more effective than other types in protecting against serious diseases, such as meningitis and streptococcal pneumonia. They work by combining a bacterial antigen with a carrier protein, creating a stronger immune response which is more effective at fighting off infections. Conjugate vaccines are increasingly being used to help prevent and control a wide range of infectious diseases, such as Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), meningococcal diseases, and pneumococcal diseases. Thanks to the increased protection they provide, conjugate vaccines are critical components of many public health Immunization programs and are helping to save countless lives every year.
