Should someone who has already had pneumonia get the pneumonia vaccine?
Yes, if you are otherwise a candidate for the vaccine (there are age and health considerations as well as whether you have been vaccinated for it in the past), you should get vaccinated since pneumonia can be caused by different microbes, some types are viral, some types are bacterial, and even some more rare types are fungal. The type of pneumonia you had may be different than the types that are protected by the currently available pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine (aka the "pneumonia vaccination").Pneumococcal pneumonia is caused by pneumococcus bacteria. There are more than 80 different types of this bacteria that can cause pneumonia. The most common 23 of these types are included in the current vaccination. So even if you had one of the types of pneumonia that was caused by this bacteria, you can still be susceptible to the other types.
Can you take an antibotic and get a pneumonia shot at the same time?
No, if you are sick you should not get a vaccine at the same time. Wait at least a week after you finish the antibiotics so your immune system is well enough for the vaccine.
What needle should you use for the pneumonia vaccine?
For administering the pneumonia vaccine, a 22-25 gauge needle is commonly recommended, with a length of 1 to 1.5 inches for intramuscular injections. The specific size may vary depending on the patient's age and body mass. It's important to ensure proper technique and site selection to achieve optimal vaccine delivery.
How often should you have pneumonia shot?
The pneumonia vaccine schedule depends on the type of vaccine you receive. For the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13), it is recommended for adults aged 65 years or older to receive a single dose. For the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), adults aged 65 or older may need a single dose, with a potential second dose if it has been more than 5 years since the first dose. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule based on individual health factors.
What should you do if you get lots of little red bumps on your shoulder that don't itch where you got a vaccine shot a few days ago?
