In some embodiments, the bacterial capsular polysaccharide is acapsular polysaccharide. The carrier protein includes anfactor H binding protein (fHbp) linked to cholera toxin subunit B (CTB). Administration of the immunogenic compositions elicits an immune response that includes production of meningococcal polysaccharide-specific and fHbp-specific antibodies. Use of the immunogenic compositions as meningococcal vaccines is also described.
