Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How many doses of the Prevenar 13 vaccine do I need to take?
A: The number of doses depends upon the age of the individual. It can vary from a single dose up to three doses after certain intervals. Your doctor will decide the dosage and the frequency of vaccine administration.
Q: Can the Prevenar 13 vaccine be taken by everyone?
A: It is not clear if the vaccine is safe for use in infants under 6 weeks of age. It is, however, given in adults of all ages. Besides these, infants born prematurely, or children having sickle cell disease, those who have had a hematopoietic stem cell transplant or have HIV infection are some population groups in which its safety has not been established.
Q: How long will the side effects of the vaccine last?
A: It is normal for some side effects to last for up to 3 days, however, beyond that, it is best to inform your doctor of any symptoms you are experiencing and their severity.
Q: Can you get pneumonia after taking the vaccine?
A: No vaccine can guarantee complete protection against any disease. There are different strains of the bacteria that causes pneumonia. Therefore, any pneumonia vaccine taken can not provide protection against all strains so there are chances of contracting the infection post vaccination.
