    An existing vaccine that prevents meningococcal disease may also be up to 40 percent effective at preventing gonorrhea infections

    While that is indeed good news, that’s a pretty low efficacy rate. It absolutely could help prevent some infections, but it sadly won’t change the diseases curability.

      GSK has another one in fast track trials, but I don’t think we know how well it works yet.
