Pneumococcal Vaccine
The pneumococcal vaccine helps protect against serious infections like pneumonia, meningitis, and bloodstream infections. It is an important preventative measure to help reduce the risk of complications and support overall health. Prices from £85 per vaccine.
What to
consider:
-
Babies – 1st dose at 16 weeks, with a booster at 1 year
People aged 65 and over – 1 single dose at age 65
Children and adults at higher risk of serious illness – At least 1 dose (some may require additional or regular doses)
-
At your appointment, the pharmacist will carry out a short health check to make sure the vaccine is suitable for you. The vaccine itself is given as a quick injection, which only takes a few seconds. The whole process usually lasts around 15–20 minutes, including a short observation period afterwards to ensure you feel well before leaving.
