Pneumonia Can Be Serious. Prevention Matters.
Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that can sometimes lead to serious complications, especially in older adults and people with certain health conditions.
Protect Your Lungs Before Infection Strikes
Pneumococcal vaccination can help protect against serious diseases caused by pneumococcal bacteria, including certain types of pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease.
Pneumonia Vaccination – Why It Matters
Pneumonia can occur at any age, but the risk of serious disease may increase with age and certain medical conditions.
Older adults and people living with conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease or weakened immunity may be more vulnerable to complications from respiratory infections.
Pneumococcal vaccines are designed to help protect against disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, a bacterium that can cause pneumonia, meningitis and bloodstream infections.
At Shree Polyclinic & Lab, our healthcare team can assess your age, health conditions, previous vaccination history and individual risk to determine whether pneumococcal vaccination may be appropriate for you.
