Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • You or your child has an infection with fever, as vaccination may need to be delayed until recovery.
  • You or your child has a low resistance to infections because of a course of treatment (such as drugs or radiation treatment for cancer).
  • You or your child has a longstanding illness or an infection that may have lowered resistance to pneumococcal infections.

Directions for Use

  • Nukovax 13 vaccine will be administered by a physician or nurse.
  • Do not self-inject; follow any aftercare instructions given by the doctor/nurse.

Storage and disposal

Dosage

Overdose

A doctor or nurse will give Nukovax vaccine; thus, chances of overdose are unlikely. However, if you experience any discomfort or specific symptoms, inform your doctor or reach out to the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

It is unlikely that the dose of this injection will be missed. However, if you have missed taking any dose of this injection, inform your doctor or nurse immediately.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Nukovax 13 vaccine stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against 13 specific serotypes of pneumococcal bacteria. It contains purified capsular polysaccharides from these serotypes, which serve as antigens. When injected, these antigens trigger an immune response, resulting in the production of type-specific antibodies. This antibody production helps protect against pneumococcal disease by enabling the body to recognise and neutralise the bacteria upon future exposure.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Nukovax 13 vaccine may not work as well when combined with immune-suppressing medications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Nukovax vaccine is generally appropriate for children and adults. However, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

The "13" stands for the 13 specific strains of bacteria it targets. Because it is a conjugate vaccine, it’s designed to "teach" the immune system more effectively than older vaccines. This makes it powerful enough for infants and long-lasting enough for adults.

For infants, it’s usually a "3+1" journey. They typically receive doses at 2, 4, and 6 months of age, followed by a final booster shot between 12 and 15 months of age. If a dose is missed, a "catch-up" schedule can be started at any point, just check with your pediatrician.
