  https://www.drugs.com/cons/pneumococcal-vaccine-polyvalent.html

  Pneumococcal polyvalent vaccine is an active immunizing agent used to prevent infection by pneumococcal bacteria. It works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the disease. […] Immunization (vaccination) against pneumococcal disease is recommended for all adults and children 2 years of age and older, especially: Older adults, especially those 65 years of age and older. […] This vaccine is to be administered only by or under the supervision of your doctor or other health care professional. […] A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this vaccine. This vaccine is given as a shot into one of the muscles or under the skin, usually in the thigh or upper arm. […] If you have more than one doctor, be sure they all know that you have received pneumococcal vaccine polyvalent 23 so that they can put the information into your medical records.

  https://www.uptodate.com/contents/pneumococcal-vaccination-in-adults

  Pneumococcal vaccination is an important preventive health care measure that substantially reduces the burden of pneumococcal disease in vaccinated individuals and in the population. Pneumococcal vaccination is indicated for adults with risk factors for pneumococcal disease or for severe adverse outcomes should disease occur. Pneumococcal vaccination is also a routine part of infant and childhood immunization schedules worldwide. […] This topic will review types of pneumococcal vaccines, indications and approach to vaccine selection, safety of vaccination, and rationale for vaccination. […] Two types of pneumococcal vaccines are available for clinical use: pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV) and pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). […] PPSV is composed of partially purified pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides. The only available formulation contains 23 pneumococcal polysaccharides (PPSV23; Pneumovax or Pnu-Immune) from the 23 serotypes that were the most common cause of pneumococcal disease in adults in the 1980s. […] However, it remains uncertain whether a conjugate vaccine is truly more effective than PPSV in adults.

  Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent pneumococcal disease. There are two approved pneumococcal vaccine types in the United States. Additionally, getting the flu vaccine every year reduces the chance of getting pneumococcal disease. […] The United States uses two different types of pneumococcal vaccines to help protect against pneumococcal disease: Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21) and Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). […] For children: Children younger than 5 years old should get PCV15 or PCV20. Children 5 through 18 years old with certain medical conditions. […] For adults: Adults 50 years and older should receive PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21. Adults 19 through 49 years of age and have certain medical conditions should receive PCV15, PCV20, or PCV21. Adults receiving PCV15 should receive a follow-up dose of PPSV23.

• #5 Pneumococcal vaccine – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumococcal_vaccine

  Pneumococcal vaccines are vaccines against the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. Their use can prevent some cases of pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. There are two types of pneumococcal vaccines: conjugate vaccines and polysaccharide vaccines. They are given by injection either into a muscle or just under the skin. […] The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of the conjugate vaccine in the routine immunizations given to children. This includes those with HIV/AIDS. The recommended three or four doses are between 71 and 93% effective at preventing severe pneumococcal disease. […] These vaccines are generally safe. With the conjugate vaccine about 10% of babies develop redness at the site of injection, fever, or change in sleep. Severe allergies are very rare. […] The national vaccination program started vaccinating newborns in 2004 with the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV 7). This was changed into the 13-valent conjugate (PCV 13) in 2011. The switch to the 10-valent conjugate (PCV 10) was made in July 2015 in Flanders and May 2016 in Wallonia.

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2022/0600/p580.html

  All patients 65 years or older should be given either PCV20 once or PCV15 followed by PPSV23 at least one year later. […] The ACIP has removed distinctions among people with chronic medical conditions, immunocompromising conditions, or underlying conditions (e.g., cochlear implants, cerebrospinal fluid leaks). […] Adults who have received PPSV23 alone may be given PCV20 or PCV15 after at least one year. […] Patients who have completed the PCV13 plus PPSV23 series do not need additional vaccination with PCV15 or PCV20. […] PCV15 and PCV20 are expected to be approved for use in children within the next year or so. […] These new straightforward guidelines will hopefully help increase suboptimal pneumococcal vaccination rates, which remain around 70% for patients 65 years or older and less than 25% for individuals with high-risk conditions.

  https://www.lacare.org/members/getting-care/pharmacy-services/vaccines/pneumococcal

  Pneumococcal vaccines are very good at preventing severe cases of disease that could send you to the hospital. […] Getting the vaccine can protect you, and it is especially important if you are in a higher risk group. […] All children younger than 2 years and all adults 65 years and older should get vaccinated against pneumococcal disease. […] People between the ages of 2 to 64 with certain medical conditions (such as high blood sugar or anyone with heart, liver, kidney, and lung diseases) and people who smoke cigarettes should also be vaccinated. […] There are currently four shots that protect against pneumococcal disease: Vaxneuvance (PCV15), Prevnar 20 (PCV20), Pneumovax (PPSV23), and Prevnar 13 (PCV13). One or two doses are recommended, depending on your age and health. […] You can get your pneumococcal shots at your local pharmacy or your doctor’s office.

  To avoid uncertainty, an expert recommends physicians understand each vaccines serotypes and which ones are being phased out. […] The 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine may be preferable due to convenience. […] Currently, there are four pneumococcal vaccinations licensed for use, which include: 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20; Pfizer); 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV15; Merck); 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13; Wyeth Pharmaceuticals); and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23; Merck). […] The indications and schedules for the vaccines vary. All four vaccines are approved for adults. […] Ultimately, the advent of those newer vaccines will raise a lot of questions in physicians minds and lead to confusion, he said. […] The CDC recommends one dose of the PCV13 vaccine for children at four different ages: 2 months, 4 months, 6 months and 12 to 15 months.

  Most of us are familiar with the flu shot or the COVID-19 vaccine, but what about the pneumococcal vaccine? This vaccine often flies under the radar, and yet it protects against a potentially serious and even life-threatening illness: pneumococcal disease. […] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following groups get the pneumococcal vaccine: Children under 5 years old, Adults aged 50 and older, Anyone aged 19-49 with the underlying chronic conditions listed below: Diabetes, Heart disease, Asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Anyone with a weakened immune system. […] You can benefit from the vaccine even if you are a healthy adult over 50. Our immune systems naturally weaken as we age, making it harder to fight off infections like pneumococcal pneumonia.
