Medical Description

Pneumosil vaccine is a pneumococcal vaccine designed to actively immunise individuals against pneumococcal disease caused by 10 specific serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae: 1, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 19A, 19F, and 23F. The vaccine offers protection against pneumonia, meningitis, ear infections, and blood infections caused by the above-mentioned strains of S. Pneumoniae.

Pneumosil vaccine is administered to infants starting from 6 weeks of age, following either a 6-week, 10-week, and 14-week dosing schedule or a 6-week, 14-week, and 9-month dosing schedule.

Common side effects of the vaccine may include pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, fever, drowsiness, irritability, and loss of appetite. If any side effects persist or cause concern, consult your doctor.

Avoid Pneumosil vaccine if you are allergic to any of its components, have a severe illness, or have a high fever. It is also not recommended for individuals with a compromised immune system.

Other General Warnings

Talk to your doctor if
  • Your child has an infection with a fever, so vaccination may need to be delayed until the fever has been resolved.
  • Your child has low resistance to infections due to a course of treatment, such as drugs or radiation for cancer.
  • Your child has a longstanding illness or an infection.

Directions for Use

  • Pneumosil 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

Store at 2°C to 8°C. Do not freeze; discard if frozen. Shake well before use. Protect from light. Keep out of reach of children.

Quick Tips

  • Inform your doctor if your child develops a high fever, as vaccination may need to be postponed until the fever has subsided.
  • The most common side effects of the Pneumosil Vaccine are injection site redness, pain, or swelling, allergic reactions, irritability, loss of appetite, drowsiness, and fever. Not everyone experiences these side effects. If any of these side effects concern you or persist for an extended period, please consult your doctor.
  • Allow yourself a few hours to rest and recover from any mild side effects, such as soreness or fatigue. Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and ease any discomfort.

Dosage

Overdose

  • Pneumosil vaccine is administered by a healthcare provider, making overdose unlikely.
  • If you experience discomfort or unusual symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.

Missed a Dose

  • It is rare to miss a dose of Pneumosil vaccine.
  • However, if a dose is missed, inform your doctor or nurse immediately.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Pneumosil vaccine stimulates the body's immune system to produce antibodies against 10 specific variants (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 (also known as fighter cells). 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

Pneumosil vaccine may not be as effective if taken alongside immunosuppressing medications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Pneumosil vaccine should be avoided in individuals with severe allergies to any vaccine component or a previous diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine dose. It is not for infants under 6 weeks old, as its safety and effectiveness have not been established. Vaccination may be delayed in moderate to severe illnesses, but simple colds or minor illnesses typically don't prevent it.

Pneumosil and Pneumovax are both pneumococcal vaccines that differ in composition and target. Pneumosil is a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) containing 10 serotypes, whereas Pneumovax is a pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV) with 23 serotypes.

It helps protect against infections caused by pneumococcal bacteria, such as pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections.

It is usually given to infants starting from 6 weeks of age as part of the routine immunization schedule. Your doctor will guide you on the exact timing.

Infants typically receive multiple doses as part of a scheduled series. The exact number and timing depend on age and national immunization guidelines.
