The pneumococcal vaccine is essential for those over 65. It protects against pneumococcal disease, caused by bacteria that can lead to various infections, especially in older adults.
As people age, their immune systems weaken, making them more susceptible to illness.
This vaccine helps boost immunity, reducing the risk of serious illness and even death.
It’s recommended for adults over 65, children under 5, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Consult your doctor to determine the appropriate vaccine for you.
While side effects are generally mild, the benefits of vaccination outweigh potential risks.
