Pneumonia vaccine advice from Dr. Roach column
The column discusses pneumonia vaccines for seniors, noting no vaccine is perfect but vaccines prevent 50 to 80 percent of severe disease. It covers ACIP guidance to receive PCV13 at 65 followed by PPSV23 six to twelve months later, and that immunocompromised adults should also be vaccinated. It also notes possible reactions like arm soreness and rare serious events, and mentions that some experts advocate PPSV23 alone for the elderly.
