Pneumococcal infections are caused by a bacterium called Streptococcus pneumoniae. While it may start like a normal illness, it can sometimes become serious and lead to conditions like pneumonia, Meningitis, or even bloodstream infections. These can be especially risky for young children, older adults, or people with weak immunity.

The good news is that you can protect yourself with the pneumococcal vaccine. One commonly used vaccine, Prevenar 13, helps guard against 13 types of bacteria that are known to cause the most severe infections. It works by preparing your body’s immune system to fight these bacteria before they can make you seriously ill.

And now, getting vaccinated is easier than ever.
