Patient Education
Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV13)
Why get vaccinated? Pneumococcal vaccination can protect both children and adults from pneumococcal disease. Pneumococcal disease is caused by bacteria that can spread from person to person through close contact. It can cause ear infections, and it can also lead to more serious infections of the: Lungs (pneumonia) Blood (bacteremia) Covering of the brain and spinal cord (meningitis). Pneumococcal pneumonia is most common among adults. Pneumococcal meningitis can cause deafness and brain damage, and it kills about 1 child in 10 who get it. Anyone can get pneumococcal disease, but children under 2 years of age and adults 65 years and older, people with certain medical conditions, and cigarette smokers are at the highest risk. Before there was a vaccine, pneumococcal infections caused many problems each year in the United States in children younger than 5, including: more than 700 cases of meningitis, about 13,000 blood infections, about 5 million ear infections, and about 200 deaths. Since the vaccine became available, severe pneumococcal disease in these children has fallen by 88%. About 18,000 older adults die of pneumococcal disease each year in the United States. Treatment of pneumococcal infections with penicillin and other drugs is not as effective as it used to be, because some strains are resistant to these drugs. This makes prevention through vaccination even more important.
