pneumonia vaccine reaction

Flu shots have never bothered me, but I had a terrible reaction to the pneumonia vaccine - high fever, chills, swollen/painful arm, no appetite....

It may not cause much harm except that it may interfere to some extent with the immune response to the vaccine. Pneumonia vaccine is an inactivated vaccine containing only a portion of the microbe; therefore the vaccines cannot possibly cause pneumococcal disease. Neither will it cause any permanent immune system damage. It should in no way cause any serious future consequences. Do consult a local health care provider and discuss all your concerns. Hope it helps. Do keep us posted.

Any ill effects on getting two shots of pneumonia vaccine within 3 years, I am unable to find anything on the net regarding this, please help. Thanks...

Obviously, if you are allergic to eggs you probably would have had a more severe reaction but people have different reactions to food allergies. Also, perhaps for you the vaccine seems to give you vomiting as the norm rather than occasionally. The pneumococcal vaccine PCV 13 says you can have vomiting as a side effect as well. I assume the pneumococcal 23 has the same effect. The ingredients are actually different than the flu vaccine there are no similarities.

Hello I had COVID and pneumonia 3 weeks ago. I tested negative for COVID today and have no symptoms I'm just dealing with the pneumonia now which should be a few more weeks hopefully til I'm 100. Should I get the vaccine now or is it best to wait??

Has anyone with CFS had the pneumonia vaccine Pneumo 23 and what was your experience of it?

I have asthma and 4 years ago I had pneumonia year after year. Than I started getting the pneumonia vaccine. I had no side effects from it expect no pneumonia.

Omg no wonder my flu was so bad after my vaccine!! I took it and it took me at least three weeks to get over it !

So, what do you think? Back in the day when I was more involved in the medical world, the big fear with the flu wasn't so much the actual flu which feels horrible, don't get me wrong, but the secondary infections that people got. Pneumonia being a big one and I've read more and more about sepsis post flu. Do you think the flu shot could ultimately save lives or is it a waste of time?

Well, my father-in-law was in the last group getting that vaccine - before they took that dangerous vaccine off the market. That vaccine killed him. He was gone within a month of having received the swine flu vaccine. I later met at least a half dozen people who had been disabled in different ways from that vaccine - but I never ever met anyone who had actually gotten the swine flu!! Go figure!!

My dad has always gotten a pneumonia vaccine, but this year when he went to get one he was told he didn't need one because he was over 65. What's up with that? He turned 70 this year and hasn't ever been told that. Is this part of Obama's plan for healthcare?

How important is it to get the flu and/or pneumonia vaccine, being that I have heart failure. I just heard about the recent death in Washington where the individual had a heart condition, pneumonia and swine flu. I was recently diagnosed with CHF in January, so all this is still very new to me.

sorry i dont know about the pneumonia shots. i just had to jump in and concur about the flu shot idea of making some people ill. my husband says i'm nuts and its "just a coincidence". well he gets the flu shot every year and hasnt had anything wrong with him in 12 years besides a cold! then there's me...i caved into pressure and finally agreed to get the flu shot in November of 2006. Oh my the following year was horrible!

* All adults 65 years of age and older.

As a middle-aged adult I am thinking of getting pneumonia vaccine as well. My doctor thinks that the current vaccine - which protects against 23 specific strains of pneumonia - is probably not of much use to an adult because adults are typically stricken by strains of pneumonia not defended by the current vaccine.

The Flu Shot Because of their increased susceptibility to complications, the seasonal flu vaccine is typically recommended for those with chronic Hepatitis C. Advocates claim that the best way to prevent the flu is through vaccination. The CDC recommends annual flu shots for everyone: * over the age of 6 months * unless they are allergic to eggs or have had an allergic reaction to a prior flu shot The formulation of the flu shot changes every year to protect people from current strains.

was wondering if docs are recommending pneumonia vaccinations or any other vaccinations before treatment. i am doing the hep a and b series.

I got a Hep B vaccine years and years ago but I did not get my Hep A vaccine until this past year. I also got a pneumonia vaccine, a shingles vaccine, and a renewed tetanus-diptheria vaccine. Plus, the flu vaccine. Sorry you got so sick from it, but in the long run it is wise to get them.

Neuro says plaque could just be inflammation,virus or from vaccine. Interestingly my 44yo sister in Canada had same reaction 6 days after H1N1 vaccine. She has hx reynaud's and possible Sjogrens. I am able to work full time but struggle on some days. I never had anxiety prior to this illness, but am scared this will be permanent. I also have a hx of multiple vaccinations in 1990 due to being a healthcare worker and travel/work in mid east and remote Africa.

m assuming you are referring to the Pneumovax 23? This is the pneumonia vaccine that is recommended as routine for those age 50+ or persons age 2 or older with certain chronic conditions or in certain environmental or social situations...

I asked my doctor if I could get the pneumonia shot this year since I struggled so much last year with my second bout of Pneumonia. He said I should only get the shot if I am 65 years old or diabetic. I do not want to struggle this year like I did last year. Am I too young? Am I not eligible? Is it a health risk for me to get this shot?
