Use for 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine, diphtheria conjugate

A pneumococcal infection can cause serious problems such as: B. pneumonia that affects the lungs; meningitis, which affects the brain; and bacteremia, a serious infection of the blood. Pneumococcal infection is also an important cause of ear infections in children.

Unless there is another contraindication, vaccination (vaccination) against pneumococcal disease is recommended for infants and young children aged 6 weeks to 5 years (before their 6th birthday), for children aged 6 to 17 years (before their 18th birthday), or until then adults aged 18 years and over.

In infants and young children, 1 to 4 doses of vaccine are required for the first dose, depending on their age. This vaccine can be given at the same time as other routine vaccinations.

This vaccine should only be given by or under the supervision of your doctor.

Before using the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine diphtheria conjugate

When deciding whether to use a vaccine, the risks of vaccination must be weighed against the benefits it brings. This is a decision that you and your doctor will make. The following should be taken into account with this vaccine:

Tell your doctor if you have ever had an unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your doctor if you have other allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives or animals. For over-the-counter products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.

Pediatrics

The 13-valent pneumococcal-diphtheria conjugate vaccine is generally well tolerated and effective in children. Safety and effectiveness in children younger than 6 weeks have not been established.

geriatrics

Related studies conducted to date have not demonstrated any geriatric-specific problems that would limit the utility of the 13-valent pneumococcal-diphtheria conjugate vaccine in the elderly.

Breastfeeding

There are insufficient studies in women to determine the risk to infants when using this drug while breast-feeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.

In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose or other precautions may be necessary. If you are receiving this vaccine, it is especially important that your doctor knows if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions were selected for their potential significance and are not necessarily exhaustive.
