Medical Description
Prevnar 20 vaccine provides active immunization against invasive diseases, pneumonia, and acute otitis media caused by 20 specific serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is suitable for infants starting at 6 weeks of age, as well as children, adolescents, and adults. When you or your child receives the vaccine, the body’s immune system generates antibodies and cellular responses that aid in defending against pneumococcal infections.
Common side effects of the vaccine may include pain, redness, swelling at the injection site, fever, drowsiness, irritability, fatigue, and muscle pain. These side effects typically resolve quickly. If any side effects persist or cause concern, consult your doctor.
Avoid Prevnar 20 vaccine if you have a severe allergic reaction to any of its components or to diphtheria toxoid. It should be used with caution in individuals with a compromised immune system, as they may have a reduced response.
Always inform your doctor of any allergies or medical conditions before receiving the vaccine. Certain medications or prior vaccines may interact with Prevnar 20, so it is important to inform your doctor of your complete medical history.

Other General Warnings
- Your child is an infant. Apnea following intramuscular vaccination has been observed in some premature infants; vaccination timing should be tailored to each infant's specific medical status. Consult your pediatrician before taking this vaccine.
- You or your child may have a reduced immune response to the vaccine if you have altered immunocompetence.
- You belong to the immunocompromised group.
Directions for Use
- Prevnar 20 vaccine will be administered by a physician or healthcare professional.
- Do not self-inject; it is for intramuscular use only.
- Follow any aftercare instructions given by the doctor/nurse. Children typically receive a 4-dose series, while adults receive a single dose.
Storage and disposal
- Store refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C (36 °F to 46 °F).
- Syringes should be stored horizontally in the refrigerator to minimize resuspension time.
- Do not freeze.
- Discard the vaccine if it has been frozen.
Quick Tips
- After the injection, gently moving or rotating your arm can help reduce any temporary soreness at the injection site.
- Tell your doctor if you have had any past reactions to vaccines or if you are currently feeling unwell.
- Drinking plenty of water before and after your appointment can help you feel better overall.
- If you notice any unusual swelling or feel lightheaded after leaving, contact your doctor immediately.
Dosage
Overdose
Missed a Dose
- It is unlikely that an adult dose of this injection will be missed since it is a single dose.
- If a child misses a dose in their 4-dose series, inform your doctor or nurse immediately. Catch-up vaccination schedules may be available based on the individual's age and previous vaccination history.

Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Prevnar 20 may not work as well in individuals with impaired immune responsiveness due to immunosuppressive therapies, such as corticosteroids, cancer treatments, or radiation.
- In adults, receiving pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevnar 20) 1 to 5 years after pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Pneumovax 23) can result in diminished immune responses to Prevnar 20.
