University of New South Wales
✦AI Summary
A large-scale randomized controlled trial has found that the meningococcal B vaccine is ineffective at preventing gonorrhea in men who have sex with men. These results contradict earlier observational studies that had prompted some governments to implement vaccination programs for high-risk groups.
Why it matters
