Good evening! I wanted to know if it was worth getting vaccinated against pneumococcus (a child of 4.6 years old) if he had pneumonia. Thanks.
Hello! You can get vaccinated. Once transferred pneumonia is not a contraindication, since pneumonia can be caused by various bacteria or viruses, and not just pneumococcus. Even if your child had pneumonia caused by pneumococcus, then his immunity was formed only for one strain of this bacterium, which caused the disease. Children after 2 years of age are shown the Pneumo-23 vaccine, which forms immunity to 23 strains of pneumococcus. Contact your local pediatrician to get this vaccine.
The information is provided for reference purposes. Do not self-medicate. At the first symptoms of the disease, see your doctor.
