      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.
