Your Vaccination Journey
Before Vaccination
Consult your doctor to confirm eligibility for the Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV23). Discuss any allergies, current medications, and your medical history. Avoid getting vaccinated if you have a fever or acute illness.
Vaccination Day
The Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV23) is administered by injection or orally by a certified healthcare professional. The procedure takes just a few minutes. You will be observed for 15–30 minutes for immediate reactions.
24–48 Hours After
Mild side effects such as soreness at the injection site, low-grade fever, or fatigue are normal and resolve on their own. Stay hydrated and rest. Seek medical attention if symptoms are severe.
Follow-Up Doses
Complete the full dosage schedule as prescribed — skipping doses reduces effectiveness. Follow-up doses are usually given within weeks to months of the first dose.
