Gonorrhoea is caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is one of the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STI) in England and worldwide.

A new 4CMenB for gonorrhoea selective vaccination programme primarily targeting gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in specialist sexual health services is being introduced. There will be a rolling start from 1 August 2025, with all providers offering vaccinations by 1 September 2025.
