Pneumovax 23 Vaccine Health Feed

Giving pneumococcal vaccine provides protection against pneumococcal pneumonia . It is an optional vaccine

There is Pneumococcal vaccine which can be given during the pregnancy, and save the mother and child from cold, pneumonia etc for the next three years.

Hi
pneumonia vaccine is helpful to prevent serious pneumonia and meningitis. Government is not making it compulsory due to economical reasons. In western world it's compulsory. You can decide the rest.
Thanks.

2 weeks (14 days) gap is preferable between dose of rabies and covid
you can consult me online for further information.

Pneumococcal vaccine is now recommended for routine use as per iap and hence should be given. Flu vaccine is recommended for high risk individuals like those with asthma, allergy, frequent episodes of cough and cold and so on.

It can be taken as optional vaccine for additional protection. Govt gives only essential ones for the cost part of it Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) is a pneumococcal vaccine and a conjugate vaccine used to protect infants, young children, and adults against disease caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus)

if it has been left ...u can start at any age .

1 year to 2 year of age then 2 doses 8 weeks apart.

and if child.is above 2 years then single dose is sufficient.

in my opinion u can choose single dose at 2 years ..which would save your money ..but remember there are many pneumococcal vaccine available from which always prefer PCV13.

Not required in adults because for adults there are enough exposure since birth and so antibodies formation in body occur without vaccination

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) is a pneumococcal vaccine and a conjugate vaccine used to protect infants, young children, and adults against disease caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus).
Well, it is not mandatory and is optional and is the reason for not avialable in Govt hospitals.
