Most people experience mild side effects like a sore arm, low-grade fever, or feeling a little tired — these usually go away in a day or two. Serious reactions are rare. If you feel unwell or have concerns after your shot, you can reach out to a DA doctor anytime.
It’s possible. Depending on which vaccine you took and when, your doctor may recommend another vaccine for broader protection. PCV20, for example, covers more strains. Book a consult with our doctors to check if you may benefit from an additional dose.
A single dose of PCV 20 can be administered to provide protection to the other serotypes if the infant has completed the 3 dose PCV13 regimen.
The doses should be given at least 8 weeks apart. Book a consult with our doctor for more information.
Yes, you can usually receive the pneumococcal vaccine alongside other vaccines like the flu or COVID-19 shot. Just let our healthcare provider know during your appointment—they’ll make sure it’s safe and spaced correctly.
- Chronic medical conditions such as chronic lung, heart, kidney or liver disease and diabetes mellitus.
- Immunocompromising conditions.
You may refer to the NAIS for more information.
The vaccine may be suitable for some women during pregnancy or postpartum, especially if you have certain health conditions. We recommend speaking to a DA doctor or your OB-GYN to get personalised advice before booking.
Protection typically lasts several years. In most cases, you’ll only need one dose. For people with higher risk or certain medical conditions, a repeat dose may be recommended later. Our team can guide you on the right schedule.
