Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia vaccine given

pneumonia

Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn We were advised to give her a flu shot and pneumonia vaccines. It is most likely the pneumonia vaccine that is causing the pain and the lump. She had a SEVERE reaction to the vaccine. Her arm swelled. The shot site was huge, very red, very swollen (have never seen anything like it). She also, became extremely, extremely ill (unstoppable vomitting, high fever). She was sooo sick. I had the same vaccines at the same time. the flu shot did not hurt at all.
Avatar m tn 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...
1853014 tn?1340038575 I was given my 3rd dose of Hep A&B shot yesterday in one arm and a pneumonia shot in the other arm. This morning woke up with burning feeling down the back of my right leg and sore to touch. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn Has anyone with CFS had the pneumonia vaccine Pneumo 23 and what was your experience of it?
Avatar n tn 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...
Avatar m tn Therefore, these patients should receive annual injections of influenza vaccine. During flu season cirrhotics are part of the high risk groups that are given priority for obtaining the vaccine. As far as other levels of liver disease or treatment, there is no standard recommending all of these vaccinations. Obviously they can't hurt. As you will never have to worry about becoming infected with these viruses. Cheers!

Avatar m tn I understand that most of the people who are hospitalised mainly die as a result of pneumonia. Does this mean that anybody who has had a pneumonia vaccination will be protected from this aspect of the infection and therefore have a greater chance of survival?
Avatar f tn 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??
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn My first hepa B vaccine was given on July 15, 2008 at noontime. On Friday night July 18, 2008 I had a high fever and it became intermittent for 3 days. I was hospitalized in July 22 due to minimal pneumonia. Does my vaccination contributed to my illness? Does my illness caused me not to develop antibody? I am hoping for your information regarding this matter. Thank you very much.
620048 tn?1358018235 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!!
Avatar f tn 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?
898849 tn?1241811271 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.
518117 tn?1429276273 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!
Avatar n tn Despite having the data, the CDC has continued to assure pregnant women, a prime target group for the vaccine, and vaccine providers that the vaccine presents no risk for pregnant women. NCOW used data from their own survey of pregnant women aged 17-45 years and the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), including updates through July 11, to estimate the true number of miscarriages and stillbirths following an H1N1 flu vaccination in the U.S.
649848 tn?1534633700 What’s even worse is that small children who are given the flu vaccine get no protection from the disease. “The government also says that every baby over the age of six months should have a vaccine, and they know it contains a dose of mercury that is toxic to the brain,” says Dr. Blaylock. “They also know the studies have shown that the flu vaccine has zero — zero — effectiveness in children under five.” For most people, says Dr.
Avatar n tn I got the pneumonia shot two days ago and today woke up to a very very red, hot to the touch and swollen arm from injection spot to elbow--is this normal
250701 tn?1320974765 I hope you get better soon - very sorry that you got pneumonia. Amazingly - taking an x-ray may be an item we need to remind the dr's to do. If we get the pneumonia vaccine before tx would it prevent us from getting it during tx? I'm getting a pneumonia vaccine next week. Take care - I wish you the very best.
250084 tn?1303307435 , ya know? Did not even know they had a pneumonia vaccine?! Shands is taking over on this, going in Monday. They are all (& our Doc) in Italy next week!! (wanted me there Friday) but already got my ER hosp. records last week. Doing labs-another Dr. for this app. Will see him when he's back or in May if this is gone then. Doing a VL since I'll be there :) Week 19 !!! How you feeling? Despite the Aranesp. Your so tough!!

Avatar f tn or something, which I never was and truly did not think for a second that the pneumonia vaccine would cause such similar side effects but after those 2 events 12 years apart I am very concerned about what is in the vaccines other than the 'active ingredients'.
