GSK Vaccines, (formerly Novartis Vaccines) who developed the Bexsero vaccine, provided
support in the form of salaries for EDT, AP, SRP, SM, VM, MP, DS, BA, and ID. IV,
GG and MDF, have received a GSK graduate fellowship from the University of Bologna
(first two) and Siena (third). KLS and MPJ were supported by the Australian National
Health and Medical Research Council (project grant 1099278 and Career Development
Fellowship 1045235 to KLS; program grant 1071659 to MPJ). The funders had no role
in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation
of the manuscript. The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the 'author
