Pneumococcal Disease Prevention with the PREVNAR 20 Vaccine
Disease Overview
Pneumococcal disease is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae and can lead to serious infections such as pneumonia (lung infection), meningitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord), and bacteremia (blood infection). Pneumococcal infections can be life-threatening, especially in young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

By taking the PREVNAR 20 vaccine, you protect not only yourself but also those around you by reducing the spread of these bacteria in the community.
