This report is made by GSK without prejudice and does not imply any admission or liability for the incident or its consequences. Additional Information: GSK receipt date: 07-MAY-2025 Physician prescribed Bexsero every two years, but when she went to the pharmacy, she was denied the vaccine (given that she was over 25 years old, above the upper age limit recommended in the vaccine's prescribing information). The patient went to the hospital for an injury and received two vaccines (at different times) before going to the pharmacy to try to get Bexsero. Unfortunately, the Medical Information agent's call was disconnected and he was unable to confirm if either of those two vaccines was Bexsero. Also stated that she was in an accident and her spleen was removed in June 2023. Consumer stated she was administered Bexsero on 23 June 2023 and received another dose on 24 August 2024, which led to inappropriate age at vaccine administration.
