Pneumonia vaccine

The pneumococcal vaccine protects against potentially fatal pneumococcal infections. It's also referred to as the pneumonia vaccination. Streptococcus pneumonia causes pneumococcal infections, which can result in pneumonia, blood poisoning (sepsis), and meningitis. In the worst-case scenario, they can cause lifelong brain damage or even death. Pneumococcal vaccines should be given to people who are at high risk of contracting pneumococcal infections.

Ideally, the vaccine(s) should be administered before pregnancy. Pneumococcal vaccinations, on the other hand, appear to be safe when administered in the second and third trimesters. The pneumococcal vaccine, like most vaccines, can cause modest adverse effects in both children and adults. These are some examples: a little elevated fever redness where the injection was administered, hardness or swelling in the area where the injection was administered.
