Pneumococcal vaccination

Post by tamada » January 25, 2023, 9:11 pm

The NHS messaged me saying I qualify for pneumococcal vaccination.

Anyone getting or got this jab already?

I've had two, the original then update one, no problems with either one. Just remember that they are for bacterial pneumonia, not viral.

I got it (Prevenar 13) in Oz a couple of years ago - under Medicare rather than NHS obviously. It was free.

A letter was waiting for me at my Oz postal address, inviting me, as being over 70, to partake, which I was happy tp do.
