Background:
This study is being done to look at a new vaccine that might prevent meningococcal disease. Meningococcal disease is a disease that causes the tissues that surround the brain and spinal cord to become swollen and inflamed. Meningococcal type B disease is caused by a germ called meningococcal Type B. The likelihood of experiencing meningococcal B disease for any individual is very low. Adolescents / teens have somewhat of an increased chance of getting the disease compared to the general population.

Background:
Influenza, commonly called the “flu”, is an illness caused by viruses that infect the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs). It usually comes on suddenly and may include symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headache, muscle aches, and extreme tiredness. These symptoms are usually worse than those experienced with other viral respiratory infections such as the common cold. In children, flu may also lead to or contribute to middle ear infections. Most children 6 months to 3 years of age suffer more frequently from flu than older children and adults, with significantly more medical visits and hospitalizations.
