Medical Description
Pneumovax 23 Vaccine provides active immunisation against invasive diseases, pneumonia, and acute otitis media caused by 23 specific serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 8, 9N, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 17F, 18C, 19F, 19A, 20, 22F, 23F, and 33F). It is suitable for infants, children, and adolescents aged 6 weeks to 17 years, as well as for adults aged 18 and older, including the elderly. When you or your child receive the vaccine, the body’s immune system generates antibodies that aid in defending against pneumococcal infections.
Common side effects of the vaccine may include pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site; fever; drowsiness; irritability; and loss of appetite. These side effects typically resolve quickly, and sitting or lying down may help alleviate them. If any side effects persist or cause concern, consult your doctor.
Avoid Pneumovax 23 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.
Always inform your doctor of any allergies or medical conditions before receiving the vaccine. Certain medications may interact with Pneumovax 23 Vaccine, so it is important to inform your doctor if you are taking other medications.
