About this vaccine
Protects against Streptococcus pneumoniae, a leading cause of pneumonia, meningitis and bloodstream infection. Available as conjugate (e.g. Prevenar 13) and polysaccharide (Pneumovax 23) vaccines.

Strongly recommended for adults 65+, and younger adults with chronic heart, lung, kidney or liver disease, diabetes, smokers, or weakened immunity. Often taken together with flu vaccine by seniors and Hajj pilgrims.
Why doctors recommend this
Adults 65+ or high-risk: discuss PCV13/PCV15/PCV20 and/or PPSV23 schedule with your doctor. Protection is important because pneumococcal pneumonia is a major cause of hospitalisation in older adults.
