About pneumococcal vaccination, if the child has had pneumonia

Good evening! I wanted to know whether it is worth doing a pneumococcal vaccination (for a child of 4.6 years) if he had pneumonia. Thank.

Hello! You can put the vaccine. Once transferred pneumonia is not a contraindication, since various bacteria or viruses can cause pneumonia, and not just pneumococcus. Even if your child had pneumonia caused by pneumococcus, his immunity was formed on only one strain of this bacterium, which caused the disease. Children after 2 years of age are shown Pneumo-23 vaccine, which forms immunity to 23 strains of pneumococcus. To obtain this vaccine, contact your local pediatrician.

Information provided for reference purposes. Do not self-medicate. At the first symptoms of the disease, consult a doctor.
