Pneumococcal (PCV13) Vaccination
This vaccine helps to protect against the bacterium Streptococcus pneumonia, which is spread through respiratory droplets of infected persons.
Both Pneumococcal (PPSV23) and Pneumococcal (PCV13) vaccines are recommended for persons age 2 and above who are at increased risk of developing severe pneumococcal disease. High risk groups are patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma, and persons with low immune systems.
All elderly aged 65 and above should have both Pneumococcal PPSV23 and PCV13 vaccines, one after another, one year apart, as their coverage is different. Pneumococcal (PCV13) should be given first, then Pneumococcal (PPSV23) one year later. Speak to your doctor about your suitability.
