Pneumococcal (Pneumonia) Vaccination

Pneumococcal infections can be dangerous and even life-threatening, especially for vulnerable individuals. Getting vaccinated against pneumococcal infections is a proactive step towards safeguarding your health. Private Medical Clinic offers the pneumonia vaccine, which is suitable for both adults and children, all year round.

Pneumonia can indeed be a serious and life-threatening condition, particularly for vulnerable individuals. With the increased awareness of respiratory illnesses following the Covid-19 pandemic, more people are recognising the importance of protecting themselves against pneumonia.

The vaccine is administered via a simple injection in the upper arm by one of our experienced GPs. It stimulates the immune system to build protection against pneumococcal infections.

The pneumococcal vaccine, commonly referred to as the pneumonia vaccine, is a powerful tool in preventing pneumococcal infections. This vaccine is recommended for specific groups, including:

Children younger than 2 years
Adults over the age of 65
Individuals with compromised immunity due to certain medical conditions

One of the remarkable aspects of the pneumococcal vaccine is that a single injection can provide substantial protection. However, for those who may need a booster, it can be administered 5-10 years later to ensure continued immunity.

At Private Medical Clinic, we understand the importance of proactive healthcare. Our private clinics across the UK provide a welcoming environment for discussing your vaccine options. Our team of experts is here to answer any questions you may have and guide you through the vaccination process.
