What is Pneumovax 23?

Pneumovax 23 is a brand-name vaccine that provides active immunity from pneumococcal infections. Pneumococcus is responsible for a wide spectrum of some of the most common bacterial infections: ear infections, sinus infections, blood infections, and meningitis, an infection of the membranes that cover the brain. Pneumococcus is the most common cause of pneumonia and Pneumovax 23 is often called a “pneumonia vaccine.”

The active ingredients in Pneumovax 23 are polysaccharides unique to the surface of the bacteria that causes pneumococcal infections, Streptococcus pneumonia. The body mounts an immune system response as if it were actually being attacked by living bacteria. The antibodies created provide a years-long line of defense against future pneumococcal infections.

Pneumovax 23 is injected as a single dose by a healthcare professional. Pneumovax 23 provides immunity against 23 strains of Streptococcus pneumonia.

What are the side effects of Pneumovax 23?

Although not a complete list, common side effects of Pneumovax 23 include, but are not limited to, fever, chills, headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, fatigue, muscle pain, and joint pain. Site reactions to the injection are common and include redness, pain, swelling, and/or a hard lump at the needle site. Injection site reactions will usually go away after one or two days. Allergic reactions are very rare. If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, seek emergency medical treatment. Consult your doctor for additional information and medical advice regarding drug interactions.
