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.
